trouble ahead?

With some of the sororities, even outside the south, reaching the
numbers over 150....what happened to traditional exhanges?
I was in our TKE colony meeting Sat. with our group of 50+ and
one mentioned it took SAE & TKE colonies, both, just to function
with one sorority pledge class at U of CO--Boulder
Beta at KU has won virtually everything forever with 80 + men,
and could take 200, I suppose, if they wanted.
But they are a top-flite outfit and very selective, virtually no
attrition. Alums raise millions for any whim...in two days.
What can be said of the 150 and upwards outfits?
I had a Pi Phi cousin at CU in a chapter of nearly 175 girls; most
went inactive their junior year and the chapter continued to get
pledge classes with the ridiculous quota of 70 or 80.
Compare the (ridiculous) quotas for the girls in NY vs dixie....
Wow! Not even close to sisterhood....
This, at least to me, is insane.
This defies fraternity, at least as I knew it.
And my word, talk to an old Zete or Chi Psi or Delta Phi and they
thought 25 was huge!
The composite article was humorous--imagine one with 250 girls
on it. Need a magnifying glass to identify "sisters."
Naw, the southern belles can have their superficial chapters of
200 plus...but something has been lost in the translation.
