Now they're running anywhere from 150 to 200 members.
Bouffant hairdos? Those are pretty mild. Now when they post the 1962, '63, '64, and '65 yearbooks...then you'll see some REAL bouffants.
I noticed how small the chapters were, too. There also sems to have been a lot of shuffling in that era: KAT and AGD were both new, and a couple of chapters had just closed. There were also a couple of chapters that were soon to close.

It's interesting. Mind you, I know next to nothing about Bama's Greek system except what I've read on GC, but I'm assuming chapters have become so large in part because of the cost of colonizing and the chance that a new group may find survival to be hard. That doesn't seem to have been a problem back then. I wonder what changed?
