Wow hun! Lots of questions:

*Yes we are at alot of smaller schools and schools with new or smaller Panhellenics. If you look at our chapter list- you'll see we lost ALOT of chapters that were @ big name schools (Indiana Univ, Florida State, Mizzou, Ohio State)- they didn't thrive and closed.

After the closings @ these larger schools, I think our national made a decision to slow down on expansion at and dig for "diamond in the rough" schools where we COULD thrive instead of being in a rush to colonize @ big name schools.

* We joined the NPC later than ADPi, Chi Omega, Delta Zeta, etc. -- so naturally we are going to be smaller. We ARE expanding at about the same rate as the larger groups, just at smaller schools. They are bigger than Sigma b/c most of them were founded before us also.

* Also, we are very concentrated in certain areas (example: In PA, we probably have the MOST chapters of ANY NPC. BUT we only have ONE chapter in CA). You'll find that even some of the larger sororities have many chapters in one area and few in others.

* YES I'd LOVE to see Tri Sigma as large as Chi Omega, DZ, DG. And I think we'll get there. Think about it, all those orgs had to start somewhere.

*No I don't think it would change us in any way.

*And YES I think my blood is purple too
