I don't think that has anything to do with it at some campuses - we had one of the smaller chapters on our campus and also had the cheapest dues. Of course if you build a
San Simeon-esque house, your dues are going to shoot through the roof to support it.
I think that if an effort would be made among all the sororities at the national level to decrease the emphasis on numbers, it would be a beneficial thing for everyone. The reason sororities on a campus think smallest = worst is because that is the attitude passed on from HQ. Fraternities on the other hand, from what I've seen size doesn't always matter and sometimes is inversely applied (i.e. the smallest fraternity is the most exclusive, and therefore the best).
