And the names thing is not as bad as people feel it might be...I know women in GIGANTIC chapters that know who everybody is. I think it really depends on the culture of the specific chapter.

Very true. Alot of times you THINK you won't be able to familairize yourself with everyone, but you will. Chapters at my school average 60-80ish girls and we all knew each other very well.

The chapters at some larger schools aveerage close to 200 girls and they all manage to get to know each other as well.

Alot of chapters use the "we want to REALLY know each other" excuse as a excuse not to grow.

You can still have the community, but it just will take some time/work.
