UT is probably the best in Texas, which isn't saying much nationally. Greek life here isn't nearly as strong here as it is elsewhere in the south. But, UT clearly is much better than Texas State and always will be. They'll always be the flagship university with hundred year old chapters and able to charge 4-5 times the dues rates we can because lots of rich kids go there and would never come here. That still doesn't make them Alabama, Auburn, Miss, etc. And they never will be because they don't have the small state power structure that maintains tradition in the south more effectively than it does in a place like Texas where things change more rapidly. All the examples I gave are real world incidents that happened in the last year. I guarantee you not all chapters there are recognized by the school & several are outside IFC. The Greek life office there is a joke because when anything important happens the real decisions are made between donors, lawyers, and senior administrators. Which is probably how it should be, but it doesn't make them a strong system. There are some strong chapters there, and some really terrible ones, but the community as a whole is not near the top nationally. School crackdowns are always for show. They keep stuff off TV, they don't change behavior. They drive it underground where it's less regulated and more dangerous.
