Yea I will give you our phi's e-mail address next time I talk to him, we are making a new contact list that should be ready next week.
That would be a contest because I think the SEC schools have the most people go greek, it doesn't mean SEC chapters are better or anything but the only conference that comes close in numbers is the BIG 12, having large numbers of greeks and a lot of people that rush. I can verify that because I am from Chapel Hill, and the average fraternity at UNC is 50-60, Lambda Chi Alpha is one of the biggest chapters at UNC if not the biggest but they tend to have large classes, large classes are not a priority at UNC, quality and tradition is. NC State and Duke, the average classes are 10-14 people. Florida State gets bigger classes and the greek scene there is a lot like SEC schools, our chapter is huge at FSU.
We have some big chapters in the SEC: Auburn, UGA, LSU, UT, Arkansas, Florida. I know UK just got a good class, 21 guys or so, we had a brother from UK come up for initation last spring.
I really wish we had a chapter at Ole Miss, in my opinion the most pro greek administration, best greek traditions and overall best greek school in the country. I talked to an ELC a few years ago and he said you need to have 80 people to start a chapter there it is so competitive, I knew most chapters had over 120 people at Ole Miss.
I am just blabbing but that would be cool to start an award it just sucks because a lot of schools greek administrations our different, some put fraternities on probation left and right like UT's, Arkansas and LSU for small offenses, this can really hurt the numbers that rush for that given year and who knows what a chapter could have done with recruitment numbers on an even playing level.
PS I just stopped by the house andfound out a couple kids signed bids but held them until the spring{very common here}, so we have 30 guys, so you guys beat us by one, congratulations.
