Poster Message:
Did you really just cite HuffPost as your source for rankings? Do you use them for your research papers too? There have been several publications attempt to rank sororities and fraternities at a national level. It's sort of like all those "Best Places to Live" or "Best Colleges." Every publication uses different criteria, and winds up with a vastly different order. Even when my group is listed at or near the top I am still skeptical of the results because of the criteria used for their findings. Also, each reader will put a different value on the various criteria that is used. Some readers think best = biggest alumnae best. Others will argue that a large alumnae base, gained primarily through very small schools without large state school or any prominent schools, isn't impressive. Donations to philanthropy are also hard to track. Unless the money is donated to a HQ, and then funneled out to the charities, it is likely not counted in these rankings. If a HQ encourages all their chapters to give locally then no philanthropy dollars are counted for the rankings. See the flaw? Greekrank may be more reliable than these silly national rankings! That is why PNMs are told to just go through recruitment and find the chapter/sisters that are the best fit for them. Look, I really disagree with the poster who knocked KD and DZ, but posting an arbitrary list doesn't really help the matter either.
