Re: largest chapter size
 

After initiation of 55 men on December 4, the Pikes at Florida State have 210 Brothers, no pledges. Seven pledges are the sons of Chapter alumni, all of whom were there to participate in initiation. Eighteen current underegrads are Pike sons.
All the big fraternities at FSU are pretty large.
I don't know if we're the largest Pike chapter. Ole Miss might be bigger U-Florida used to be as large or larger than us.

Just to throw it out there, as of March 2009, our largest chapter had 202 members at Oklahoma. I'm sure, since Fall is over, that number is very different.

The fluxuations are interesting. At least in our case (Pi Kappa Alpha) we had multiple chapters with over 200 members in the 1980s. In the mid-1980s we have around 25 chapters with 100+ members. Then, no 200-man chapters in the 1990s - not even close. The average size of the big chapters dropped sharply. However, beginning in 2000 the big-chapter numbers went up again. We probably had only three or four chapters with 100+ in 1999. Now there are 20-30 again, and several at 200+.
My guess is that other nationals have followed the same pattern.

Sig Nu at Ole Miss had a fall class of 80-something. I wonder what their total manpower stands at now.

congratulations
