Regardless of Newsweek, there is NO SUCH THING as a national ranking. CASE CLOSED. Every response you see on here that gives one will be biased toward the higher ranked houses at the schools the one ranking is familiar with. I guarantee you that the top houses at Bama, Illinois, UCLA, UT, OU, UGA, Arizona, Nebraska, etc. are all going to be different. A top house at one school is the one that had to close for low numbers at another. It is a complete MYTH that there are certain houses that are always or even usually top tier. You can look at total numbers or number of chapters, but the smaller houses will point out that they are more selective about chapter placement. You can look at philanthropy numbers but everyone will tell you that it is easier to raise money for a big national entity such as Make a Wish than it is for a string of local causes with different names that share a common commitment. You can look at foundation gifts, but certain fraternities and sororities emphasize giving at the national level and some emphasize giving at the local or philanthropical level. And btw, you can also count on the fact that everyone who answers this inane question will put his or her own house in the top tier nationally.
