Gotta leave my two cents.

Dark Brotherhood: Chaotic Evil to the core. Some might not kill unless they're given a contract, but they do kill people nonetheless, and enjoy it a lot. You will notice that from the Dark Brotherhood members' dialogs. Cicero was deeply saddened when he had to stop killing people, and he's the most "lawful" you'll see in the Dark Brotherhood. ... well, minus the madness. Their ideals might not be evil, but their members sure are wicked.

Thieves' Guild: Chaotic Neutral. Some of their members are true dykes, true, but none of them have actual bad intentions, other than getting rich at others' expenses. They're scum, yes, but are they as evil as, let's say, Alduin? Gods no. Most of their members are actually quite sweet, unlike the Dark Brotherhood's members, which might be friendly to their kin but are sadistic and wicked.

Bards' College: True Neutral or Lawful Neutral, I'd say. They really don't have any specific ideals or intentions, and pretty much any kind of person could become a bard. Some of them are greedy, some of them are charitable, some of them are arrogant and some of them are kind.

Companions: Neutral Good? They sure care way more about the fight and the ale than about the good deeds, but will do good deeds nevertheless. They're kind of a band of mercenaries with fixed morals, and their leader does seem to have some morals to him at the very least, plus they're at least honorable.

College of Winterhold: True Neutral. They give zero damns about the rest of the world, and focus solely on their research. Sure, they might help if something bad happens (such as with the Magic Anomalies), but wouldn't anyone do so? If they didn't, they would trend more to Evil.

Greybeards: Lawful Neutral to the core. They're way more guided by their ideals and their rules than anything else, to the point of not caring about the fate of the world at all. Even though they will help the Dragonborn, that is only because that is their purpose in life, and they want to fulfill it.

Blades: Lawful Good. Hurts to say that, considering they want Paarthurnax dead, but that is just their Lawful nature playing its' part: They're not doing that out of sadism, but out of their vision on what is right, and letting Paarthurnax live is not right in their view. They do care about the fate of the world nonetheless.

Empire: Lawful Good. They have good ideals, and prefered to sign the White-Gold Concordat rather than see the Empire burn further. They try to do what is right, at the very least.

Stormcloaks: Neutral Good. They do what they do true to their cause, even though their ideals and their zeal do hurt a lot of people in the process. They're pretty much the same as your average Companion, bent on honor and glory in battle, and what they do, they do (in their view) for the sake of Skyrim.

Aldmeri Dominion/Thalmor: Lawful Evil, there's no denying this. They're organized, they have their ideals, but their ideals are just plain evil, and we have seen clearly how sadistic and twisted the Thalmor are. They're not Chaotic, as they are quite organized and they do have ideals. And they are not Neutral, for that very reason, so Lawful is the only thing that seems right.
