Does size matter?
Fraternities have a great variation in numbers of chapters, TKE, Sig Ep, SAE and Sigma Chi have 200 + chapters. KA Society,Delta Phi, Delta Psi have less than 15 chapters. My fraternity DU has 81 active chapters, a midsized organization similar in size to Phi Tau and Phi Psi.
I have a basic question, does the size of the national organization have any long term affect on the quality of individual chapters?
My opinion, larger national fraternities eventually improve on individual campuses due to greater name recognition and stronger programming/ educational programs.
Smaller nationals have many excellent chapters, for example the DKE chapter at Alabama is as strong a chapter as any in the country, but long term the overall trend is toward the bigger nationals having stronger campus chapters .larger better houses, better recruitment.
Just my opinion-whats your opinion.
