How to tell if it's a "strong" chapter--
1. How many student body leaders are in the house? What house is the class president in? What about sports team captains, etc.?
2. The house has good numbers. They normally make quota each year, and they are not one of the smaller houses on campus. A strong house attracts lots of rushees. A weak house has more trouble getting numbers.
3. What kind of all-school events does the house sponsor or co-sponsor? Do lots of non-members actually come to these events? A "strong" chapter will be better able to get the campus involved in its service projects and things like that.
4. Does the house traditionally "get" lots of its legacies? Rushees won't usually "follow their legacy" unless they think their mom or sister's sorority is a strong one on their particular campus.
