I was also directing my comments at sororities, which do not usually end up with large pledge classes after formal rush if they're a weak chapter. They may COB later, but the biggest pledge class on campus is not the hallmark of a bad chapter.

Yes it usually is. It's a sign of the weakest chapter. Pike, here gave out like 45-50 bids. Probably along with the other top sized pledge classes. It's too bad they took all the guys no one wanted. I looked at their new pledge list, and it contained 30 people we had cut the first night because they were going to be bad pledges, and were mostly from plano, which is the worst.

Not as much fraternity-wise as Auburn, Ole Miss, Georgia, Alabama, LSU and Texas, but more than the rest. We consistently have strong chapters which have good sized pledge classes with quite a bit of money. There is a bit of history here with long-standing chapters.
As to tradition and the history of chapters, it is usually the rule to be on campus longer is better, however one can look at Phi Gam at Alabama, who has been on the campus forever and is not all that great.
