I wasn't trying to imply in my post that there aren't chapters of smaller sororities that aren't totally and completely awesome and that rock your socks off til you can't go anymore. I know there are chapters like that out there!! That rules! I was just curious to see if there were any trends on campuses that have both big and small groups, or if PNMs didn't want certain groups because they were smaller nationally.
For example--we currently have 5 sororities on campus (Pi Phi, KKG, KD, KAT, and XO) and there is potential for a 6th maybe sometime in the next 10 years, if everyone gets at total. When people discuss groups they'd want, pretty much the only names that come up are Tri Delt and Phi Mu, maybe ADPi. Just because of our base of students, those are the ones people tend to know for whatever reasons. If another group comes on campus, my impression is that we can probably pretty much have our pick to a large extent because of the school's academic reputation and strong Greek system. So this problem would probably never occur. However, I have a friend that's probably going to a small college nearby next year. On that campus are several very strong southern sororities founded in the 50s, and a nationally smaller group that was founded a little over a year ago. I have no idea of the reputations or anything on this campus, but I thought it was unusual (but cool!) that they chose a group that is not traditionally found in the south to expand last year. Personally, I know that if smaller group ever came on my campus, it wouldn't last long. I think that is tragic, but I know this. People (not in my chapter, thank god!) have made nasty comments to me about smaller, non-southern NPC groups. So I was just curious, in line with helping smaller groups expand and not losing any of our NPC groups, which are all awesome w/ rich traditions and strong chapters, if this was a problem elsewhere. I wasn't trying to say that smaller NPCs can't have awesomely strong chapters.
Just a clarification. Sorry it took so long
