I don't think there isn't much of distinction amongst the ranks besides the base strength. Omega and Beta are virtually the same it's just Omegas are considered weak due to just plain being weak (like the twins in their former pack) or being lone wolves and not getting that boost from being in a Pack (Scott season 1-3a). Physically there is no difference. Alphas are stronger and they MAY develope more drastic shapeshifting abilities (exp. Peter, Laura, Talia, Deucalion). They only concrete physical trait that distinguishes the ranks are the red eyes of an alpha. Other than that there is no difference amongst the ranks. It's more or less just a social thing because even when it comes to the strength thing it's still boils down to the individual's strength (Twins vs their old pack, Scott vs Kincaid, Scott vs Isaac and Erica, etc.)
