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?

Many of these were moot points because I joined a fledgling colony. I didn't really pay any attention to the number of chapters, the numbers, whatever. I was just excited about the fact that I could be a part of something that would make a lasting impact on my campus. A rare opportunity for anyone.
However, being on the other side of things, rushees join for different reasons. Certainly our great statewide and nationwide alum and chapter network have been a factor. I've never seen a guy give a damn what the colors are. I might be worried if he did.
I don't think folks really care about how long an organization has existed. Most are interested in what's in it for them now. Of course there are always exceptions.
