Last fall, the "pledge" classes were in the range of 70+. That is so HUGE! One the bright side... it would be almost impossible NOT to find people you relate to and form lasting friendships with.

70 girls in a pledge class? :eek: How would you get to know anybody in a chapter that big?

Chapters at the University of Oklahoma can be huge. I know many of the sororities on campus will pledge up to 150 girls. That is insane. The largest fraternities now have a cap of 65 guys that can be pledged. SAE - my fraternity - tries to get 50 or 55 to keep it small enough to handle. Our chapter has grown to 110 members, but some other houses now have 150 guys in them. There is no telling how many members sorority houses have on campus. It is huge here.

PHI ALPHA!!

i go to THE greek school... washington and lee university in lexington virginia... over 75% of the student population is greek. we have 15 frats and 5 sororities... the largest frats have around 80 i believe... i think the largest are KA and SAE... there are others around the same size. the sororities are all pretty even and are all larger than most of the frats. i think a good range is 90-110. keep in mind... we have less than 2000 students. go figure.

I found out today that SK at UCSD is currently at 68! With Spring Rush yet to come. :) Extrememely exciting considering when I joined in Spring 98 there was barely 30 and we only had 22 in Fall 98. It bugs me that Panhel is discussing increasing total. It was decreased from 80 to 70 in Fall 98. SK is finally at 70. I'd want them to be able to not rush for at least a quarter. Plus shouldn't Panhell see if all 8 chapters can maintain total before increasing it? The bonus for SK though is that half the chapter is freshmen and will have 50 members in Fall Rush. :D

The greek system is getting stronger and we can all be thankful for that! I hope everyone will maintain quota. Too many girls got turned away empty handed on bid day this past fall rush.
