Rushing for other fraternities throughout the week I thought most chapters hovered around the 50-60 range and this gotten me a little worried about the growth of the chapter I'm in. I understand I'm only a pledge, but having 23 active members can't be a healthy number, can it?
I will say that the morale of the fraternity is very high though. Almost every active was at every rush event and the bid party they hosted for us was a blast. I really lack the experience in the running of a Greek organization so I was hoping the experienced members on this forum could share some insight.
Thank you.

Unless your national is on your back about your numbers being higher, and if your house/living space is filled and there are no debts, who cares?
There are healthy fraternities with fewer than 23 members. It's all relative. The only time it becomes a problem is if YOU make it so.
