GreekRank values the following categories: Looks, Popularity, Classiness, Campus Involvement, Social Life, Sisterhood. A well-balanced sorority chapter should be equally succeeding in all these categories. We took a look at our own rankings, also considering academics, and then dived further into studying specific chapters to determine which 8 chapters are some of the most well-balanced across a country. Here’s who we strongly feel deserves to be on the list....

These sorority chapters have a strong social media presence that showcase their love for sisters through spotlights and plenty of sisterhood events. It’s clear that these women are a tight-knit group and love to tell the world about it! These chapters in particular go above and beyond the “happy birthday” posts when it comes to showing how strong their sisterhoods truly are....

Sunshine is a college student’s best friend. Plenty of studies have highlighted the benefits of abundant sunshine on our mental and physical health. Students from The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH might enjoy some of the best football in the country, but find themselves in one of the cloudiest cities in the country with less than 50% of their days each year spent in the sunshine. Makes you wonder if OSU students might consider trading one of their quarterbacks for some sunshine with one of the schools found on this list of sunniest campuses in the country....

You have made one of the biggest decisions of your life to go to college. Congratulations! However, that’s not the only decision that you’ll have to make when it comes to college life. Another important decision that you’ll probably make is the decision to go Greek in college.
Greek life has lots of benefits to offer to its members – opportunities to build a network, social/community activities to participate in, a strong brotherhood bond to maintain, and many more! However, one of the biggest challenges college guys face at the beginning of their Greek life is choosing the right fraternity for themselves....

When a student ends up in the hospital at a fraternity event, the coverage that follows tends to follow a pretty familiar script. University suspends chapter. Statement gets released. People who already hated Greek life feel validated. People inside Greek life go quiet and wait for it to blow over. Rinse, repeat. But the Ohio State situation - where a fraternity was suspended after a student was hospitalized at one of their events - deserves more than that script, especially right now.

Something shifted on campuses around 2020 and it never fully shifted back. The fraternities that figured that out early are in a completely different position right now than the ones still running the same playbook from 2015. I've watched this from close enough range - four years in a sorority, a lot of time around chapters of Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and others - and I have thoughts. Not all of them are flattering.

So students at the University of Wyoming showed up to a Board of Trustees public comment session to talk about Greek life. Not just to talk about it - to advocate for it, push back on it, and air out grievances in front of the people who actually hold the budget strings. And honestly? Good. That's exactly how this is supposed to work.

There's a moment on bid day - and I've watched it happen from the outside as an IFC guy - where something shifts. A girl opens that envelope, or rips that bid card, and for a split second the whole world is just her and that piece of paper. Then she screams. And then she runs. And then about forty other women are running toward her. I've seen that happen on campus and I genuinely don't know how anyone watches it and stays cynical about Greek life.
