phi gam or pi kappa phi

this doesn't make sense, since it isn't that clear. Both are strong historically and currently. Phi Gam is old row and has a longer history, but Pi Kapp is one of the oldest new row, also has strong history/alumni, and are better at the moment.

is pretty strong in the South, so actually you're kind of an idiot.

Strong at plenty of schools throughout Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and Virginia. Take a little initiative to know what you're talking about. Fiji is great in the South, has a handful of good chapters in the Midwest, is weak in the Western US and damn near non-existent in the Northeast.

Alabama:Upper? Huh? Get real.

Not quite on a few
Miss State- Middle
LSU- Upper Middle
South Carolina- Upper

Duke- Upper Middle
Florida State- Upper Middle
TCU-Middle
Top or upper at quite a few smaller state schools throughout basically every Southern State, SEC and ACC aren't the only schools in the South. They aren't SAE, SX or KA level in the South, but saying a fraternity that is middle or higher at most big Greek schools throughout the region a joke isn't accurate. Phi Delt, Sigma Nu and Phi Gam are somewhat stronger in the South too, but all three are declining lately.

To say they're good is accurate and not overstating when most of the Southern chapters are at least good, to say they're great in the South would probably be overstating though. They're below 5/6 of old row+SX in the South, but I'd still have them above most of the other 70 or so IFC chapters and fairly comparable to other strongish Southern chapters like KE, Pike or ATO in the region. Not the best by any stretch, but a long shot from a joke.

Fair, lets not get into a word choice argument good vs. great

Pi Kapp has a national brand so yeah they're not aweful. What I meant originally when I said joke was comparing it to the "majors."
