Newsweek article means nothing except the information it provided on how much each sorority donates to philanthropy. Judge a sorority on the quality of the schools it has chapters and how much it donates to philanthropy. On that these are the top sororities:
Theta
Kappa
Pi Phi
DG
no comparison quality (philanthropy giving and chapters at top division 1 private and state schools) over quantity (facebook & twitter likes and chapters at tier 2 schools)

Is a national magazine yes. Their list still sucked and I'd say it to their faces, they aren't above criticism and anyone that uses Facebook likes and Twitter followers as major factors in their ranking doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. At least it wasn't as bad as the fraternity one they did that had a bunch of multicultural fraternities ranked near the top.

Read that whole article. The rankings were based off of who had to most followers on Facebook and Twitter. Yes it listed the amount given to Philanthropies but the list in order was on fb and twitter followers. The list was not to used as a who is better since that is all it was based on. I could go have my mom and aunts and cousins and grandparents follow us too but that does not make a top tier sorority. Newsweek even said that the list was made based off that but that they listed the other things also.

that's what I was trying to say. It doesn't matter if Newsweek is a credible national magazine, the criteria used for ranking which they stated in the introduction makes it essentially a bogus list. It's probably true based on the narrow criteria used, but they were poor criteria.

excuse their terrible criteria. Princeton review is a national thing too, and their top Greek schools was absolutely terrible, including a bunch of tiny liberal arts schools with 5 GLOs over most of the SEC schools and such. Being a national magazine doesn't make you right and the criteria for the sorority rankings was frankly really bad.
