Even though I'm a male and currently in the process of rushing fraternites, I'm open to opinions from both the male and female perspective...

So I'm checking out fraternities... I know it is important to find out where you fit in best. But what are some positives and negatives of choosing a small house vs a larger house?

It seems that with a smaller house, you would have a better opportunity to meet all of its members and become closer to them. But a lot of the smaller houses (on my campus, atleast) don't seem to have a very strong standing in the overall picture.

So far, I've been checking out mostly bigger houses, but I did not want to exclude the smaller ones...

2 Larger ones (90+ members) and a small one (50-60ish members)

At the small house, to be completely honest, I had one of the best times hanging out that I've ever had.. The guys were all friendly and knew how to have a good time... Sadly enough, every other people I talk to seems to have something bad to say about them.. That they're dorks, blah blah blah...

What others say doesn't really bother me much as long as I feel it is right for me, and I definately am not excluding it because of what these others say. It just kind of makes me wonder why girls (who would have no benefit for dissing this fraternity ) would all say bad things about it.. it just makes me wonder... is there something I'm missing? or are they just dissing it because its not a huge strong house like some of the others?

Babbling on again... lol back to the initial question...
What are the benefits of joining a large house over a small house? and vise versa.

Thx!!
