Comment#2 by: It Depends
It depends what you mean by strongest. If you mean most traditional, most like you picture it then UT. If you mean which school has the strongest presence and percentage of campus in Greek Life, then it's TCU. TCU has a great system, but a little bit of the experience is taken away by not having real houses.
I don't know much about SMU, but I haven't heard great things about their Greek Life.

This was a great synopsis of the different greek systems around the state, but you forgot my school (Baylor). Haha no problem we get it.

Baylor is hard to compare directly to the rest mentioned. While it's wealthy and fairly old, it also has chapters that are like 60ish members on the high end and doesn't have anything like housing. They along with Texas A&M, Texas State, Southwestern and SFA (for various different reasons) are probably honorable mentions. Beyond those they're all kind of mediocre to poor Greek scenes.

Thanks for the education as I am about to make final decisions for next year. Even without houses, I still feel TCU has the most going for it.

is universally considered one of the elite Texas Greek systems along with UT, TCU and possibly Tech. SMU like TCU has around 40% in Greek life. UT and Tech are both closer to 15%, but both are larger schools with somewhat more diverse student bodies (and 15% is fairly high for public universities excluding schools like Ole Miss, Bama, and Georgia). UT is probably the most traditional, and is the only one of the four to offer housing that allows for both live-in and parties. SMU has nice on campus houses, maybe the closest thing to a true Greek row in the state, but cannot have social functions in them, and has an administration that is slowly running their system into the ground. TCU doesn't have true houses to speak of but still has a very strong Greek system that is slightly less traditional than the previous two, and which, like them, has a lot of money. Tech has "lodges" which they can't live in, some of which allow social events, but socially speaking their Greek system is solid and fun, and they still have a fair amount of money in some chapters.
