What’s it like to be in a Huge Chapter?

This is why I get slightly annoyed when PNMs from these big Southern schools say things like "I dropped out of recruitment because I couldn't see myself fitting in with those groups."

Um, every group on your campus has 150 women. How does one "not fit in" with 150 people?

The more women a chapter has, the less you can look at a chapter and say you "don't fit it." If a chapter has like 30 girls and you said that, I would argue that you might not fit. But not when they are all nearing 200.

I also feel like the bigger groups get, the more similar they become. In a sense that whether you join ABC or XYZ, you're still going to have a comparable Greek experience.

I have this crazy idea that we could randomly place PNMs in chapters at some large schools in it would work out just fine.
