Show me a 30-man chapter, and I'll show you their empty house in about two years.

In my 24 man chapter, we just tied to win Best Alumni Relations along with 90-man Sigma Chi. The trophy they made this year looks like we won a Euro Soccer Tourney. We've been -30 the whole four years I've been in DSP, and we're still at SDSU and definitely aren't in the most danger of closing around here.
We also were very instrumental in our pairing winning Homecoming. We've finished in the top 5 in IFC GPA the last four semesters. We don't get a hundred sorority girls partying at our house every weekend, but that's not an issue with me with five months left.
We've been the most diverse house (I believe the majority of the house are minorities), and I couldn't see my lower-class big brown ass being accepted socially, especially as a BROTHERHOOD, in any other house. In a world of kids with their heads up their asses and their hand's in daddy's wallet, I wouldn't want to be in any other house but Delta Sig, at least at SDSU.
There's no way I could handle having cancer if I was in any other house. If having 24 guys, good times with only those I care about, and none of that petty Greek BS means we're a weak chapter, then there's nothing I can say that'll change your mind.
I acknowledge you're not attacking anyone in particular hoosier, but I disagree that having the most members as the determining factor.
ETA: I know most houses aren't like this, but I've had plenty of experience with certain organizations to know how many feel about thier greek peers who are from less-fortunate, more humble circumstances.
