My sorority was at campus total of 150 and my pledge class was 48. I knew the names of everyone my sophomore and junior years. I do admit that my senior year I did slack off (plus I was off campus interning at a TV Station for one quarter) but even then I knew everyone's face if not name. It wasn't hard- I just went to the events, date parties, teas, etc. in addition to chapter.
As far as depending on one another, just like any group, I was closer to some than to others. In fact the year I lived in the house, I had roommate issues, however the night I broke up with my boyfriend, guess who stayed up until 1am to make sure I was okay. My roommate. We might not have been best friends, but we were still sisters.
And I have been out of college for 11 years now, but I am still in telephone contact with my 5 closest sisters and I exchange e-mail/Christmas cards with another 10 or so. You can have sisterhood and closeness is a large or small group. You just have to work at it- Friendships aren't instant they require work no matter what the numbers.
