Valkyrie,
I think it depends on how "forward thinking" the PNM is. For me, I knew that I wanted to be somewhat mobile after university, and try living in other parts of Canada or perhaps the USA.
Therefore, I did consider how "widespread" the sorority had chapters. I am not saying that bigger is better, but I knew for me, I wanted an NPC whose numbers were somewhere in the middle and higher in terms of both collegiate & alumnae chapter quantity and how active those chapters were. I'm an alumna initiate, so that factored into it. But I do recall being a collegiate rushee and still giving this factor consideration.
Then again, there are some PNM's who have a hard time envisioning their life past university...who think 30 years old is so OLD...
