By the very definition, Summer would be stronger than Raven, if pitched against the Grimm, due to her nature. Also, the Silver-Eyed Warriors are natural warleaders. Being a leader doesn't mean one is stronger, it means that one is more capable of leading. And I'm betting Summer had the leadership qualities that Raven lacked, hence why she was chosen as leader and their group was christened Team STRQ. Of course this went against everything Raven was taught, so I can imagine she threw a fit over being snubbed, even worse than Weiss in season 1.

I can imagine they were sort of like Nathan (the hero) and Hugh (his rival) from Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. Hugh was the stronger ogf the two, won all of their sparring matches, yet Nathan was chosen to wield the Belmont Whip nonetheless. And Hugh didn't understand why until after he was defeated late in the game. Though I wonder if Raven ever understood why Summer was chosen, since she still maintains that strength rules all. Maybe we'll find out in this upcoming Volume. Maybe she'll come to understand why Summer was chosen as leader in the next volume after realizing her own faults.
