There are obviously pros and cons of small and large chapters, but at campuses with sorority-owned (as opposed to University-owned) housing, filling the house is critical. At places like my alma mater (Illinois), this gets harder and harder every year that the non-Greek options get better. Lots of women only want to live in the chapter house for one year, so you have to effectively have a pledge class each year that is large enough to fill the house when they are sophomores.
