If I had to guess, I would think Hispanic and Asian GLO's would be bigger in California...

I can't speak for all LGLOs but mine strives for quality over quantity.
I think some of the sororities in other councils are required to keep up their numbers because they have housing issues to consider (I could be wrong). Many cultural GLOs do not have campus housing, so the issue of needing to make rent on a house is non-existent.
What I have noticed in CA is that the AGLO chapters typically seem to be larger than the NPHC and LGLO chapters. Also, CA has a very high population of Asian students in higher education as compared to other groups, so that could have much to do with it.
For LGLOs in CA, there is the "political" factor (although it is not as strong as it was in the 1980s or 90s). What I mean by this is that many Latino students in higher education have a hatred for greek organization (any type) because of past treatment of Latinos by certain fraternities or sororities on some of the larger CA campuses. Some also feel that joining a GLO of any kind is "selling out." If you are going to join one, you may encounter opposition on campus (or even from your own circle of friends), so you have to be willing to put up with that. Many people are not willing to do so. Other people are just not willing to work for their membership. I see more and more of that nowdays.
