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!

Virginia Commonwealth University just suspended a fraternity over hazing and assault allegations, and if you've spent any time around Greek life, you already know the basic shape of this story.

There's a type of alumni event guest who shows up before the actives do, knows where the good snacks are hidden, and somehow ends up in every group photo. She graduated four years ago. Maybe six. And she is always there. Not in a mentorship way. Not in a "I'm chaperoning this for liability reasons" way. Just... there. Camped out like she never left.

When I was in school, the worst internal conflict my chapter ever had was a heated argument over whether to get a foosball table or fix the back porch railing. We voted on it. Someone's feelings got hurt. We moved on. Nobody called a lawyer. Alpha Phi Delta apparently did not have that luxury, because the fraternity just filed a lawsuit against Greek housing organizations - and that's a sentence I did not expect to read on a Tuesday.

Junior year, I had a thermodynamics exam on a Tuesday and hadn't slept more than four hours in three days. I was ready to just grind it out alone in the library like I always did freshman year - before I joined. Then my brother Marcus, a mechanical engineering senior, sat down next to me at the chapter house kitchen table at 10 PM and said, "You're doing the energy balance wrong." Two hours later I actually understood it. Passed that exam. And I remember thinking - this is literally what the whole thing is supposed to be for.<
