Just in regard to bowsandtoes. A good size chapter at some school may be 150+, and my school has sororities of this size, but due to the fact that we can not accomodate meetings for chapters of that size easily and if chapters continue to grow we'll be having meetings outside, we are doing the extension process so that the chapters can maintain a size that is healthy for OUR campus. So it's not a matter of any specific number being a good size at every campus, because if you look at it, the actual amount that is a "good size" is usually total that is usually set by the Panhellenic at the school. At some schools that may be 6 or 20, or 75, or 170. It really just depends. Campuses are different and greek life must accomodate those differences and vice versa. We are simply not all what your ideal of greek life is, nor do we aspire to be, because we can only hope to be our campuses best attainable concept of greek life. What's good for the goose does not work for the gander in this particular case. In addition to that. The school and the sororities already there pick the chapters that join when adding an additional sorority. So it's not your job to approve if perhaps its a smaller or larger one nationally. They pick what meets the needs of the campus and will continue to do so over time. It's not done at random, no one plunks down and says "this is it". It's a careful process. Similar (usually) for the fraternities. Those involved know what they're doing!
