I find this discussion all very amusing. Being on the college scene, I found that many women come to college only hearing about Delta or AKA...so out of that knowledge they rush to become members. But almost every person I know that worked for their letters in those organizations have either regretted their choice, remarked on the lack of sisterhood, or disassociated themselves with the other members with the large intake class. And I have seen some of these women in these large intake classes act a fool, not realizing what it really means to be a member of a Black Greek Lettered Organization(probably b/c of a lack of personal identity...)
At my school, we had a 25 member cap so we wouldn't have to deal with that foolishness of 40-200...the larger the numbers, the less chance for bonding and you lose the whole purpose of being a LINE to begin with(togetherness, knowing each other, supporting each other, working as a group and not individuals, etc...)...I really think with those kind of numbers, you cease to be a line and become an pledge class.....just like the WGLO's...
