One of my friends tells me that he can never remember all the guys, he forgets names and stuff, and I could never imagine trying to get to know that many guys on a personal level.

This is a really good point. I know quite a few people who can only recognize other people in their organization when it's letter day. I can't imagine feeling the same bonds of sisterhood with 100 women as I did with 30. I loved my small chapter and I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything, but it does get frustrating during recruitment when you're competing for girls you really like and they decide that they want to be in a larger chapter instead.
