I am not really sure how to change this but would the idea of smaller orgs getting bigger similar to why chapters at a university remain small. I mean, lets say i am part of a group that wants to go national and i had my pick of say 4 NPC's, Lets say that ABC is well known, DEF is Just as well know. Now GHI and XYZ have the same amount of chapters as ABC and DEF but are not as well know. Now, who would i choose. A group where i know that a lot of people will recognize the name and i can easily brag about being a ABC or DEF and have most non-greek people recognize or go with a group that might have the same amount of chapters but just not have the name appeal as the other two.

I know its shallow, but i know that we faced this at my chapter. The chapter is about the same size as the other chapters, but people on campus still have the notion that my chapter is small. Small, say 10 members short of total. It is all the notion that bigger is better and a more recognzed name somehow equals bigger than an unrecognized name.

So, i guess the "answer" to the original question would be that the small organizations need to be able to promote why they are outstanding and offer so much more than the well know, but possible equal sized organizations. Now, how to do this I don't know how. THis was still an ongoing process at my chapter to show why we are better and have a lot to offer.


I do know all 26 sororities in the NPC, but that is cause i took the time to learn them and it was not part of my new member process, but i think that is should be.
