I have heard the same about several sororities (ex: XYZ is the 4th largest sorority in the nation, or ABC is the largest sorority in the nation). I've seen them on FB groups, on Bid Day shirts, you name it.

Where does this info come from? Are there some super secret rankings I don't know about? lol. Or is it one of those "a bunch of people said it so it must be true" things?


I think she means Delta Zeta is the largest sorority by number of chapters (however, I don't know if that's total chapters ever chartered or active chapters). I think I've seen Chi Omega as the largest on that list and Alpha Phi as third. Another size-ranking is by the number of initiated members, where I think I've seen Kappa Kappa Gamma in the top three. However, I don't put too much value in those rankings because I have yet to see a primary source for those numbers.
