Smythe / chapter size
Smythe was one of only 13 or so initiates of Lambda Chapter at The Citadel in the late 1800s, but he served as the Fraternity's chief executive officer into the 1930s, and founded the magazine. Heller hated Smythe, and we can assume the feeling was mutual. Smythe favored limiting the Fraternity to the south, and Heller was an expantionist. Smythe held power, and Heller was shut out. Both men, in my opinion, contributed much to our Fraternity in their own ways. Very often, men who love the Fraternity are passionate, and controversial.
Hoosier, you asked about the average chapter size. PiKA developed a unique national rush program twenty-five years ago that has catapulted it to the top. Those figures are FEA (Fraternity Executive Association) stats, and yes, Pi Kappa Alpha has had the largest average size among all fraternities for many years. The same stats show Sigma Phi Epsilon (I believe) as the fraternity with the largest number of undergrads in a given year.
