1) Would you be more likely to show interest in an organization with more established chapters as opposed to one with fewer?
2) Would you show more interest in an organization with large numbers as opposed to one with small numbers?
3) Would you prefer to join an organization that has been around for longer but had few chapters?
4) Did the organization’s colors or website affect your interest level?
5) What was it about the organization that you chose that interested you?

It's funny that you posted these questions because I was wondering the same thing. From the extensive growth of multicultural, latino, and asian sororities and fraternities, I really wondered what makes a person want to start chapters of sororities they never met before??? It seems like the sororities with the "cutest" colors or most technical websites grow at a faster rate than the other sororities. When you take away all of the fancy advertisments, most organizations are the same (same mission statement, same purpose, same goals).
I chose Zeta Sigma Chi because I got to know some of the members in the sorority. It wasn't because I loved peach so much, but it was because I loved what I saw them doing and trying to achieve. Their love for the organization and each other was strong and I wanted to be apart of that. It makes me sooooo upset when I hear someone saying that they joined XYZ because their colors were so cute (most people just won't admit that was their reason...) How could you make you decision on that?
I saw all the things that I could do for my organization instead of what my organization could do for me...
