I think it all depends on how your campus runs things like intramurals, Greek Week, etc.
I mean as far as, say, intramural basketball...if the 30 person chapter has the 10 best basketball players there are, and they all play, what does it matter if they go up against a 150 person chapter? You can only have 5 guys playing at once.
I completely agree with what Coramoor is saying, and it is the prevalent attitude around here (dude, I'm pulling you over the Mason-Dixon just for this post, LOL). To wit, the biggest chapters at Penn State, the biggest Greek school, being the size of the smallest chapters at Texas and such. It's not innately bad to be big, but as far as things are concerned in this neck of the woods, it usually seems like the biggest are only concerned with warm bodies and not quality of members - especially where fraternities are concerned. If you see it happen again and again, you will begin to believe that big = full of lame-os.
