ato and phi delt potential

ATO is probably middle middle tier, and Phi Delt is lower middle tier. ATO doesn't seem to be improving or going downhill in particular (actually if you look at old posts on here it looks like they were better a few years ago). Phi Delt is lower than ATO, but does seen to be among the fraternities steadily improving. How far they'll get is pretty unsure, but they are making improvement.

I would say ATO is solid middle tier. They are way better than phi delt. People try and group phi psi and phi delt as lower middle tier but there is quite a drop off between them and the other mid tiers. ATO and pike aren't as "try hard" as sigma chi and have been pretty neutral in mobility. However, they have 100+ member chapters so I would say their prospects are better than phi delt.

So How much influence does chapter alumi play in the success or failure of a chapter? I mean presumably ATO has strong alums who have helped the chapter along especially with securing a chapter house after being kicked off and losing their old house. Sigma chi also seems to have benefited sigificantly from alumni support when they got kicked off for a few years and the alumni kept their house. What happened to phi psi and their alumni? Didn't they plan on building a brand new house several years back that never materialized? Where have the phi delt alumni been since they have returned to campus?
