Too Much of a Good Thing

I have a first cousin who was in a huge sorority at UT many years ago. One of her sisters was an acquaintance of mine whom I had seen in our hometown during Spring Break. I asked Sherry if she knew my cousin and she said she thought so and would tell her I said hello when she saw her.
When Sherry saw my cousin, she gave her my regards and my cousin stared at her and asked, "Who are you?" There were 125 pledges and more than 100 actives in the chapter and few knew each others' names.
I was stunned when I heard this story. We had about 30 actives and 15 pledges in my sorority and that was considered a good size chapter at my school. At least I knew everyones' names!
It is too much of a good thing in numbers that high. Where is the closeness, the sisterhood, the knowledge that you can depend on one another in a group that large?
I wouldn't trade my chapter experiences for those large numbers. I am still in touch with most of my sisters after 42 years!
