Sigma Nu isn't officially recognized by FSU at this time. Even when they were I know that from 1997-2001 they weren't anywhere near 150 members.

At UCF, I think that AZD, KD, Tri-Delta, Zeta, and ADPi all have 180+ women in their chapters.

At the University of Arizona, Sigma Kappa had/has about 130. Pi Phi, Kappa, Theta, DG and Gamma Phi had/has somewhere in the neighborhood of 150.

"has/had"...I'm not sure of exact numbers as of this moment. I believe recruitment just finished up.:)

The largest DG chapter is at USC with 218 members.

Total here is 100, and I think the largest chapter (last I heard) is 160... but that may be higher.

I know that there is a phi mu chapter some where in the south that has over 350

Delta Gamma's Alpha Nu chapter is the largest sorority at USC as well as the largest Delta Gamma chapter nationwide boasting over 200 members

In the early '90s a couple of the ADPi Texas chapters were over 300 members, (I really wonder what the heck total was on their campus?) they had to have two executive boards to manage the chapter. No idea if its still like that.
I heard the same about Phi Mu in Georgia.

OK so big Chapters, Big Damn Deal!

Do you know your Sister?

It is like going to a big school where you are a number and not a person!

How in the Hell do Chapters that big have Initiation that means anything? Do you run them through like a cattle call?

We did 14 New Associates one weekend and I did not get any sleep for 2 1/2 days!

I was talng with the Greek Life Event Coorinator this last weekend and NPC will not allow more Sororitys on campus, We have 3!

They do not fill their quotas! Why, because they are not wanted by the girls who are rushing?

I am not knocking them, as they are all good Soros! ASA, AGD, adn Tri Sigma! All Have Chapter Houses!

Since I was there, and I know it has been a long time we have Lost: DR, a local We as LXA helped to start who had a chance to go PM, ADP, and KD!

It is time that We As Greeks Get Off Of the Collective Asses and figure out the problem and do something about it! Soon!

I know the know individual likes us and is a DZ from NWMU!

But I cannot get through to her that more need to be added on campus because of the stupid damn rules!

We are in a business and need to act like a business! We have Budgets, Property leases, time scheaduals, grades to keep and many more things!

Hell, That is what We as Greeks Do! :mad:

Hmm. like I said I'm just going on what I've heard at national conventions. They don't really publish chapter sizes anywhere:D

Sigma Nu Is Active At FSU
 
Sigma Nu is in good standing at Florida State, though they are not a large chapter. You may be thinking of the University of Florida where they are historically very large.

isnt alpha phi omega at stl an honor society?

AlphaXiAsh 12-18-2002 03:55 AM

on bid day, my chapter was the largest on campus (of fraternities and sororities) at 201. Now we have like 195.

there are 40,000 people (about 6,000 greeks) at my school and there are only 10 sororities, so every sorority has at least 120 or so sisters.

you'd think that it would be hard to really establish sisterhood with that many people, but its like any other chapter, there are people who come around and people who don't. nevertheless, the bonds of sisterhood are still apparent, and VERY strong. :)

I am pretty sure that the Betas at Mizzou are around 160. Beta at Auburn started the fall with about 120 and I know our OU chapter is mega huge and so is Georgia.....

I go to Mizzou and you're right Beta is at about 160, making it the second largest fraternity on our campus, following ATO I think. Most sororities here (we have 14 sororities and an undergrad population of 25,000ish w/about 25% of the undergrads being Greek) are way over 100 members, most are at 150 and many fluctuate between 150-200 members at any given time. My chapter currently has 163 members, and we do just fine with sisterhood. I think it's kind of offensive when people say big chapters aren't as good or whatever b/c it's too hard to establish real bonds. Well, I've done it along with thousands of other people, so I don't think until you've BEEN in a large chapter and had a bad experience you'd have any right to say whether we're bad or whatever. Sorry, just needed to vent. :D
