Alpha Phi Alpha is nationwide and probably has the most self-contained collegiate chapters in the South. Alpha may very well reach more campuses in the Eastern region though (Virginia to Maine) due to city-wide chapters.
Our 2007 College Chapter of the Year was Norfolk State University, in 2008 it is Florida A&M University.
Our largest collegiate chapter is typically Morehouse College.
The only standards by which I judge chapters are whatever the fraternity uses to judge its "Chapters of the Year" -- and that's always by the quality of the total program, not just numbers.
I personally am excited hearing about our newer college chapters, such as the one at Davidson College in North Carolina, which is a very diverse chapter doing good things.
With expansion standards becoming more stringent these days, I don't expect that we will have very many new collegiate chapters in the near future unless the black male populations of some schools expand and justify the need for a city-wide chapter to splinter.
