what is a "big" class for you?
Curious to see what the average pledge or rush class sizes out. What is your average for the fall in comparison to the spring. I joined last fall in a 3 person rush class. A few years ago there was a spring class of 10 people which we considered big.

My pledge class was 63, quota for our school was 62 (we had a junior in my pledge class). The schools farther South have what I consider to be big pledge classes

I would consider 30-40 being big. Average is around 15-25ish. Small, like 7 or less.

My pledge class was around 60 people, though not everyone was initiated. That's pretty large. They're usually anywhere from 25-50 people.
The sororities at IU generally have pledge classes between 40-50 people or so, depending on that year's quota.

Normal formal recruitment new member classes here at Kent are 20-25 girls, so anything above that is pretty big for us. Our spring COB groups are anywhere from 6-10 depending on the chapter.

Average for us is 60-65... which makes sense as quota usually falls somewhere in there. I don't really know what "big" would be... because, to me, that seems like a lot of girls already!

Big for the fraternities is probably 32ish, for the sororities, 55 would be big.
As for average size it depends on the chapter. For us it's about 22, for another chapter it might be 18, another 12, another 28 or 30. The lackluster chapters definitely have trouble keeping up.

Average class for us is 30-35. Mine was 50 starting, 41 initiated and the smallest since I pledged was 17 last spring. We are the biggest for our section.

30-40 would be big for us here at Indiana. Fall classes are usually 25-30. Spring classes are usually around 10-20ish

5 is a relatively large pledge class, however, if you make it in the double digits that's Godlike.

Well, I think the biggest on our campus this year was 22, which was 18 (quota) plus 4 off quota. Ours was 8 girls plus 1 off quota, which was HUGE for us, considering my class of 9 was the largest class in years. We had been having classes of 4 and what have you, but now we're growing and kicking ass. The guys...one always gets like 30 some odd guys, and the rest always average about 8.

I am from a small chapter on a campus where greek life is less than welcomed.
My pledge class was 6. The largest since I have been a member is 16.
The average is about 4-6 new members.
