Why do you need to know? Have you tried looking at the various websites?

Just a strange argument I got into with one of my exes. She said the Ques have more members worldwide than the Alphas, and I disagreed. When I went on a Google search I didn't find anything really sufficient, so I just decided to ask.

You're right. Those frats do not post their numbers on their website. But you said BGLOs which also include the sororities, and for the most part, they do.

I'm pretty sure that the Alphas have more, but I have no evidence to support that. I just checked one of our most recent publications (the membership directory) and it did not say.

The last time I heard a comparison number--years ago--the Alphas were the largest NPHC frat.

Ok thanks, the only thing i could base it on was the fact that Alphas have more Chapters then Ques.

Here's a thought... why not call the orgs and get their official numbers?

It's extremely difficult to get accurate figures for these groups,which can be broken down into total initiates,living members,etc. In terms of the numbers from the latest Baird's Manual of Fraternities,the ranking was as follows: APhiA,Omega Psi Phi, KAPsi,Phi Beta Sigma. I would think the ranking would be the same with the (Que's) Omegas and Nupe's (Kappas) ranking still being very close.
