or do you just not understand? I don't think there are any 200-man chapters anymore, although there were scores of them in the 1980s.
The answer to your question depends on the specific circumstances of your specific campus. If the big dogs have 100 and you have 25, you're toast. If ALL the major houses had 200 men and yours only had 100, then you'd be at a disadvantage. If all the good ones were in the 100-man range and there was just one that somehow had inflated to 200, they might not necessarily be superior to everyone else.
However, I am unaware of any 200-man chapters in the country today. Penn State has more than fifty fraternities, and I doubt that any of them have more than 65 members. Most of the good ones have 45-55 men. If you have the quality and the numbers you can compete with the top names. At other schools, the top chapters are disapointed if their fall pledge classes do not have 45-55 men. You have to consider the context of the individual campus.
What is the situation on your campus?
