This is all fake news along with unicorns and fairy dust. Some of the top ranked houses are involved and some are not involved at all. Some middle and lower houses are extremely involved. Even without the machine those thetas get positions all over campus because they are good people. There are other involvement powerhouses that are not considered top houses here but this is the best example of this argument being fake. The alumni groups and connections from our top is true if you are staying in Mobile or OTM or anywhere else in the deep south. It is true that those houses will have a lot more behind the scenes support during recruitment. That help also comes with strings attached so beware.I would say it is helpful in getting you into the club in Hoover but not for getting you a job in Dallas, Seattle, Boston, LA, or DC. You would need to look for stronger nationals for that. If after graduation you are headed to the coasts or up north, then you will want to pass on some of these ranked top houses and favor a mid or lower ranked house with huge alumni bases all over the country. This does not line up with our rankings. If you want to be controlled by a bunch of down home bama boys then maybe being in a top house will help you. There are plenty of middle and lower ranked houses represented at the formals, tailgates, and date parties. If you are willing to give serve them what they want they are not checking for the letters on shirt. There are quality guys in all of the fraternities and many respect us much more then some of the "top" OR houses. In my mid level house we have had awesome swaps and social calendar. My roommate in one of the bottom houses as well. The top houses are only top on GR. There are ranks and posts that explain this. There are smart houses (some top and some not) who are in the top 5 of the grade reports. Look it up. You can look up houses with great nationals and HUGE alumni groups for networking all over the country. You can look at the retention of the houses which shows you about the sisterhood. You can look at the involvement on campus. When you look at those measurable qualities and then rank the houses it would be completely different then the ranks here week after week. The old guard refuses to let that happen and the ranks continue. Benefit to being in a top house = not much. We can't even agree on which houses they are so obviously there is no huge benefit. Now, a benefit to being greek or not. Of course. There are proven social, academic, leaership, and networking benefits to going greek.
