My sorority is a local and I'm went to a small college, and so its always hard to have a "Big" sorority or fraternity... In fact in the early 90's my sorority was down to about 3-5 memebers at one point...
However when I started pledging (Fall of 1999), there were about 10 or so girls and then 9 of us pledged, so we were suddenly twice as big! And even though 8 of us graduated in 2000, over the next two semesters, 10 or so more girls rushed... I graduated in 2000, but am still close with my sorority and I think they have about 23 members or so right now.
So I really just think that sometimes with smaller schools the number of active members is always changing. For us, it's not so much about numbers, but more so about what each sister brings to the group. You can have 50 members, but it doesn't mean a lot if those in the group aren't committed, ya know?
But good luck with you Fall rush!
