I LOVE TRI-SIGMA!!
I think we charter at small campuses because like JocelynC
said we are trying to do well at the smaller school first. To add to that some of the smaller schools in TX (where I used to live) had the biggest "Greek Life" that you always heard about. Examples would be Texas State and texas Tech if you arent greek on those campuses you are nothing! Also if we do good on smaller campuses then when we get to bigger campuses the smaller ones can help them out. I think maybe before we just rushed in without too much back up. I know that at Texas A&M some of the bigger sororities have girls from other campuses come to their recruitment to help out and it makes the chapter look better. If Sigma were to chater there and didnt have smaller sororities around to help them do that kind of thing they wouldnt be any competition for the bigger sororities that have been there forever.
I also agree that we are bigger in certain areas. If you notice our expansion there are more sigma chapters on the east coast and as you go west there become fewer. It just takes time. We cant be everywhere all at once.
I think it would be great if we were as big as Tri-Delt or DZ or ZTA. I dont think you are wrong for wanting us to be big. You love your sorority and only want it to be the very best. that being said I think we should put some money and hard work into the chapters that we already have and make them the BEST on their campuses before we try to go BIG. I think that there are some chapters that really need some work ... not that its a bad thing. Everyone needs some help now and then. I think that if we were the best on the small campuses first then when we go to the big campuses it would be easier to succeed there.
I know thats a lot to read, but I love my sorority and talking about my sorority.
