While I respect people's choices about what and what not to post, I think that this is an excellent point. I think we 'fear' revealing small chapters because the implication is either that A) we will be accused of thinking those chapters are 'bad' or are 'bad rushers' (and glorying in it) or B) members of that GLO will jump on us because either they think it embarassing that their chapter is 'bad' at school ABC.
The underlying assumption is that chapters who draw smaller numbers are 'weaker' or just plain 'bad'. A lot of people have no problem annoucing their group is large or strong at a particular school (even in rush threads!!!), but I don't see anyone annoucing, "Hey, Suzy PNM, at ABC State U, I know some girls in my sorority XYZ there and it seems like a really small chapter!"
I understand why people don't want to post this info (I know GC folks who
would and have gotten pissed if someone posts the numbers and one of the groups is distinctively smaller). However, I agree with AXWhoah that in a perfect world we wouldn't need to worry about such things.
Then again, in a perfect world, every PNM would be pledged, every sorority chapter would be at total... etc.
