It is a travesty to say that campuses with larger quotas/chapters are not having a special experience.

I think the girls who said that are getting way raked over the coals. Coming from a chapter of 50 and a small Greek system in general, I understand. I don't think anyone is saying that you can't find love and closeness and forever friendships in a 200+ chapter, but you are simply not going to know
every single sister inside out like you do in a smaller chapter. It's not "better" or "worse" - it's just DIFFERENT. Would I have wanted to be in a chapter of 200 or even 100? 19 year old rushing me says no. Current day me would probably be fine with it. Believe me, we had Greeks who chafed at the smallness of our system, and I'm sure IU does too.
