Thanks SapphireSphinx9. We are all excited about our newest soon to be chapter!!

And congrats to shadokat and D Phi E on thier 4 colonies!!!!

DFE might not be the oldest or largest sorority, but we have more chapters in New York State than almost every other sorority. :) We're really big all over the Northeast. :)

Chi Omega is the largest national sorority....we have over 225,000 members with about 178 chapters. We are the second largest women's organization behind the Girls Scouts of America.

Hmm.. I thought Chi Omega had more chapters than that!! Alpha Gam has 180 or so and I thought XO had more for some reason???

Wendy, I believe that the Chi-Os are referring to *active* chapters, not total chapters chartered. :)

Just a happy little note.. Our national wensite is now up, and it looks great thanks to the ministrations of the web mistress..

And on a side note, you can find a picture of yours truly amongst the pages :cool: I feel famous!

Bwahaha. Did the comment, "Can't shake a stick at Chi Omega" crack anybody else up?

Congratulations girls :)

TPARose,
I looked on your web site and didn't see you where are ya? Unless your a different theta phi than I'm thinking.

Ok, so I don't think anyone has listed us yet...

Phi Delta Theta has over 172 chapters and 205,000 initiated brothers. The PDT foundation has in excess of 15 million.

We are not the biggest but we rank up there.

Im smack-dab on the Chapters and Colonies page.. I dont remember when the picture was taken, and it's evident in the fact that I look kind of.. out of it. But what can I say! I'll take any kind of celebrity that I can :D

I hope y'all have a smashing day!

Wow...all these fun facts about sororities other than mine! Well, DG has been added to the facts on an earlier page but its fun to learn about the size of different sororities. One thing though, its beginning to sound more like a competition in some posts rather than a discussion. Let's try to keep this forum just a discussion about different sizes of sororities/fraternities rather than a competition about who is larger. This is so cool to learn about all these other ones!

With over 200,000 initiates, 204 chapters, and 6 colonies, Kappa Sigma HAS to be in the top 5.

Are there Panhellenic National awards? Like, Order of Omega awards on a national level? I'd like to see where everyone lies as far as strength as well as numbers.

And whoever said something about the region thing, that's definitely true. ZTA is really strong in South Carolina, but Alpha Xi Delta, for example, although the one chapter that they have is strong, that's the only one in SC. But also, even the same sorority in the same state can hold different reputations. Kappa Kappa Gamma at Clemson has the complete opposite reputation from Kappa Kappa Gamma here, for example. And Theta, which was struggling with numbers here before they left, is one of the biggest at Clemson. I have no idea how that happens. I would think that it would be about the same (like ZTA or ADPi in this state, which are consistent from school to school) across the state.

Re: What is the largest national sorority?
 

To go back and to understand what was said:

Are you, gphibgirl96, meaning NPC or any Sorority? Do you mean, active or total number of chapters?
If so, my Sorors and I, of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. have the men of IFC and the Women of NPC beat ! My soror, Lady Greek, said in an earlier post, that we have 393 collegiate chapters out of 887 total chapters, and over 250,000 members with over 35,000 active sorors.
Not trying to brag, but when asking questions like this, please be specific. Someone had said earlier that Chi Omega was just a bit smaller than Girl Scouts of America. Now, I can understand that the point was made to let you know how many ChiO members there are, but please let us compare apples to apples (Shout out to MysticCat! ;) )

If we're talking about ANY national sorority, Beta Sigma Phi has over 10,000 chapters. Actually, they're international, though, so I don't know if that helps you any. :)
