One of the bigger differences I can think of is if you're needing to constantly COB (as in not just two or three people). That can be really draining on members and take up time from other activities (school or sorority related). I've worked with chapters who rarely have to COB and those who have to COB constantly. It's a lot more work for the latter chapters and definitely affects chapter dynamics.

And of course, there could be reasons for the need to constantly COB that affects chapter dynamics as well (high turnover indicating poor chapter health).

I agree. I think that, for a chapter with fewer members than the others, the constant pressure to "catch-up" and the practical need for the members to have to double-up on officer positions has the potential to wear the membership down after a while. So, while holding a formal or philanthropy event is the same in concept, the practicalities of it are not at all the same experience. In other words, it's twice the work for a chapter half the size of her campus counterparts. That said, the very core function of our existence, sisterhood, should indeed be essentially the same.
