Again: through 35 years of involvement with the Greek system, I have seen that the stronger groups on any given campus tend to manage to maintain more seniors. They don't seem to have many who get married in the middle of college or transfer or flunk out for whatever reason. This is not a dig on anybody at all. Look at some of the rosters on college websites and compare size of senior classes.

And if you still think I'm trying to insult someone, too bad. You're way too sensitive.

I'm curious what people consider to be strong chapters.

My alum chapter is strong. One of my active sisters got married last weekend. Some have deactivated because of money issues, some because they wanted to get more involved in another organization and there was a time conflict. And then there are those who leave because of drama or they're not into it anymore.

Another chapter on my campus is strong also. They've had a few girls get married. One left to join the military. Some left for other reasons. I still see both chapters as being strong.

So I'm curious how other define "strong".

I'd like to add, that I've seen skinny sisters in any sorority look like crap. And I've seen bigger sisters look 10 times better than them. It's a shame that a sorority would look past those sisters, skinny or big, because of what size they are.
