Largest Fraternities and sororities

UTAustinGreek · #1 02-08-2002, 04:10 PM

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone knew who the top 10 fraternities and sororities were by chapter size and initiates.

Thanks for your help!

Zeta Tau Alpha is the third largest NPC sorority. I believe that is based on total members, but could be number of chapters, or possibly a combination of both.

Chi Omega is the largest NPC sorority--based on # of initiates-- which I believe is about 240,000.

I'm pretty sure that the top four NPC sororities in number of initiates goes in this order:
1. Chi Omega
2. Delta Zeta
3. Zeta Tau Alpha
4. Alpha Phi

No way! Phi Mu is number two.

I know Lambda Chi Alpha is in the top 3 of the Fraternities w/ over 227,000 initiated brothers.

i think we are now over 400,000 initiates.
I believe the top three fraternities are (in no order):

Lambda Chi Alpha
Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Pi Kappa Alpha

I wish that were the case my friend, but not quite. Largest init # is SAE, with around 250,000. We are close on everyones heals with about 235,000. Not bad considering almost everyone (NIC wise, excluding TKE, Sig Ep and Sig Taus)is about 50 years older than us.

SAEalumnus · #11 02-09-2002, 05:43 AM

Actually, SAE has over 260,000 initiates at this point.

We initiated our 250,000 brother last year, not bad considering we turned 100 yrs old last year. I'm in SigEp.

Zowie · #13 02-09-2002, 12:12 PM

Delta Sigma Theta
Kappa Alpha Psi

pirate00 · #14 02-09-2002, 12:56 PM

Alpha Phi Omega is the largest non-NIC affliated fraternity and service fraternity, with over 315,000 initiated brothers worldwide and over 700 chapters in the USA.

Kappa Kappa Gamma has had 128 chapters, but I'm not sure how many are still active, probably at least 110. It has also had over 186,000 initiated members as of June 2000. For some reason I thought Kappa was in those top four, knowing that ChiO, DZ, and ZTA were up there too.
