Largest Fraternities and sororities
 

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone knew who the top 10 fraternities and sororities were by chapter size and initiates.

Thanks for your help!

Zeta Tau Alpha is the third largest NPC sorority. I believe that is based on total members, but could be number of chapters, or possibly a combination of both.

Chi Omega is the largest NPC sorority--based on # of initiates-- which I believe is about 240,000.

I'm pretty sure that the top four NPC sororities in number of initiates goes in this order:
1. Chi Omega
2. Delta Zeta
3. Zeta Tau Alpha
4. Alpha Phi

No way! Phi Mu is number two.

Here are the sororities ranked roughly by size (number of chapters currently active, not initiated women or number of chapters ever installed)

176 chapters - Chi Omega
More than 150 chapters - Delta Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha
More than 130 chapters - Delta Gamma, Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Chi Omega
More than 115 chapters - Alpha Omicron Pi, Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Delta, Phi Mu, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta
More than 100 chapters - Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Gamma Delta, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta, Phi Sigma Sigma
More than 50 chapters - Alpha Sigma Tau, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Phi Sigma Sigma, Delta Phi Epsilon
50 or fewer - Sigma Delta Tau, Theta Phi Alpha

I know Lambda Chi Alpha is in the top 3 of the Fraternities w/ over 227,000 initiated brothers.

i think we are now over 400,000 initiates.
I believe the top three fraternities are (in no order):

Lambda Chi Alpha
Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Pi Kappa Alpha

I wish that were the case my friend, but not quite. Largest init # is SAE, with around 250,000. We are close on everyones heals with about 235,000. Not bad considering almost everyone (NIC wise, excluding TKE, Sig Ep and Sig Taus)is about 50 years older than us.

lifesaver

AGD has 115 Active I believe. We had 2 deact this school year :(

Actually, SAE has over 260,000 initiates at this point.

We initiated our 250,000 brother last year, not bad considering we turned 100 yrs old last year. I'm in SigEp.

Delta Sigma Theta
Kappa Alpha Psi

APO #1!!!
 

Alpha Phi Omega is the largest non-NIC affliated fraternity and service fraternity, with over 315,000 initiated brothers worldwide and over 700 chapters in the USA.

Kappa Kappa Gamma has had 128 chapters, but I'm not sure how many are still active, probably at least 110. It has also had over 186,000 initiated members as of June 2000. For some reason I thought Kappa was in those top four, knowing that ChiO, DZ, and ZTA were up there too.
