The idea of an 82-person new member class boggles my mind. Where I went to school, total was 80. How can you really feel a sisterly bond with 81 pledge sisters and 300+ people in your chapter?? (To say nothing of things like membership selection and initiation taking all day and half the night...!)

To me, 20-25 people is a good NM class size. If you get much bigger than that, it becomes more difficult for the NM class to bond. If you get much smaller than that, and that's not the norm for your campus (e.g. every chapter but yours takes 80-100 NMs each year and your chapter takes 3-5 per year), then the NM class may bond nicely (or may hate each other's guts) - but your chapter will become too small to be viable. (I'm obviously taking an NPC perspective here.)
