While I am at it, if you cannot support or will not rush, get out!
And the crappy little outfits with no house, under fifteen men, how can you call yourself a fraternity? Get real.

Now, this is becoming less and less of the case. In my time at school (at a large, New England, anti-Greek school), more and more chapters have increased their numbers (for better or for worse). My Kappa Sigma chapter has been over 70 men since I was initiated, and 4 out of the 6 fraternities on campus have over 30 men; not a huge amount, but a good enough amount. I know that at UConn there are some big chapters, and that other schools in New England have been doing very well with Greek size.
While your statement may have been true a few years ago, things around this area are changing. No, there aren't 200 man chapters like in other parts of the country. However, Greek life is slowly but steadily growing, despite some horrific Greek related incidents (a couple of deaths at MIT for example) that have threatened things around here.
I don't take offense to your statement - just wanted to make a couple of points.
