Tiers in The SEC
I was reading through the thread on the Florida fraternities and it brought up the "tier system" which it seemed questionable if it was a legitimate thing or if it something made up by people. Then i started to think how does this whole tier thing branch out across schools that are pretty much the same... in this case, the SEC having brought up UF.
So if there is a tier system, then how do the fraternities match up at say Alabama, UGA, LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee, etc? is there some kind of trend we see here for particular fraternities in the area? Have the same fraternities been strong since conception of the chapters or the regional area, leaving no room for competition (basically the rich get richer deal)... or does whos the "best" cycle from time period to time period. I found this an interesting topic, and wanted to know yall's opinion on it because there seemed to be a lot of controversy in the other thread. |

Top Tier: Ole Miss Alabama Texas South Carolina (questionable, perhaps lower) -in between- Georgia Auburn LSU 2nd Tier: Auburn Tennessee Vanderbilt Oklahoma Texas Tech -in between- Arkansas Florida Oklahoma St. 3rd Tier: Mississippi St. Texas A&M Kentucky Baylor That being said...except for perhaps the 3rd tier, the top tier houses at any of these Universities could compete with one another. |
EW - are you ranking the entire Greek system at these schools?! What is your criteria? Or are you ranking a specific fraternity at these schools?
|
I believe he is ranking the greek life. Probably more on the fraternity side.
That said, I'd put Okie State and Arkansas a bit higher. Definitely above T.Tech. |

The qualifications are importance of Greek Life (though that's not a great determinant because in almost all of these schools it's very important), the importance of history/tradition, size, influence and affluence, alumni, etc. Just for the helluvit I'll throw in the non-SEC/Big12South in there as well... Top Tier: Ole Miss Hampden-Sydney Alabama Texas South Carolina (questionable, perhaps lower) -in between- University of the South Washington and Lee Georgia Auburn LSU 2nd Tier: Auburn Tennessee Vanderbilt UNC (the existence of the big 4 sealed this deal) Oklahoma Texas Tech -in between- Arkansas Florida Oklahoma St. Florida St. 3rd Tier: NC State Mississippi St. Texas A&M Kentucky Baylor |

I did a tally of SEC schools for who was listed in 1st tier the most often. It came out something like this:
(info taken from posts on oldrow) KA SAE EX EN It was only the SEC schools tho. |
Couldn't we just leave this kind of stuff to Old Row or Fratting Hard?
It's not really that I object to it being here, but if we know there are other sites that meet someone's tier-based needs, couldn't we just refer people to them rather than reproducing the same type stuff here? Or is there a need for tier based discussion in a less openly racist and generally vile climate? Old Row kind of scares me, but it's not written with middle aged women in mind. |

Funny, neither is this thread. ;) |

Greek Chat = 75% women, I'd say, at least in terms of frequent users. Old Row not so much*. ETA: *or at least it appears to be guys, but maybe it's really 84 year old women posing as college guys. With the internet, you never know for sure. |
I'm just kidding. Post all you like!

Old Row is fun if you don't take it seriously. The stuff that gets said is often off the wall but great...the "how to frat hard" section is honestly the funniest fraternity related thing I've read in a long time. Fratting Hard is the less hardcore crowd with alot of Yankees and random small schools. Quote:
In my opinion and in no specific order...the top chapters in the South would go something like.... DKE - Alabama SAE - Alabama KA - Alabama Sigma Nu - Ole Miss Phi Delt - Ole Miss Fiji - Texas SAE - Texas Those chapters are some of the more notable ones |
well its interesting to see the schools ranking, but i really meant more individual chapters, like are the SAE's and KA's going to be stronger in this area due to their "old south" kind of affiliation.
honestly though, I go to South Carolina and i'm surprised yall thought it was top tier ahead of UGA. I mean i'm honored you think so and i don't question it lol, but i always had the impression UGA was pretty intense atleast to be top tier too (grew up in GA). |
Good Lord. It's different at every school.
Get over your obsession!:mad: |
From what I hear for South Carolina:
SAE ATO EN KA |
