Yeah because I happen to base my decisions on the fact that Theta has 191,000 members but DG only has 190,000. Good one. I already said I'm not interested because that's what I'm basing my decision on. Who cares about how many sisters you have as long as they're awesome girls who you love?

Don't get snippy. You acted confused about the reception you received and I told you one reason for the reception. People base their decisions on all sorts of factors. Some people go based on popularity or which group has the prettiest girls.

I wasn't confused at all. Everyone was acting like it was impossible to find a list like this. And there was one, which was very straightforward and clearly organized. I prefaced the question by saying I was simply curious about this phenomenon of all the chapters claiming to be largest. I don't really see how anyone could have gotten the wrong idea. Either way, I'm glad I have the information I was looking for. I don't know anyone basing their choice on national numbers, I don't really see how it makes much of a difference. I feel a lot of people didn't take the time to listen to why I was interested in knowing this information. Thanks again for your help aries!

I thought size didn't matter...?
CaliforniaGirl7, I'd like to share with you what we were taught as New Members:
It's easier to take the top ten in size, and realize that, in any given year, ABC could have two members more than XYZ, and vice versa. Worrying about who has what (with the exception of the wonderful site that ariesrising has http://www.threebluestars.com/greek) is an exercise in frustration!

We have to keep in mind that size does matter to some...depending on what you are looking for in an organization. Most of the NPC sororities are around the same size anyway. It's the same way that a joining a national might matter to some more than joining a local. Everyone has their prefererences.
I think Caligirl got the main points that we wanted to make: choose based on how you feel about each chapter, your experiences there, etc. But she DID ask, and since there is info here, I'm glad she got the answers she needed from ariesrising and others.

No, you were wondering why some people responded to you the way they did (hence "confused"). So I explained one reason to you. Don't be so hellbent on antagonism.

But with all due respect to ariesrising and her website (and that is a whole lot of respect), you have to remember what others have said -- these numbers change every day. Chapters open, chapters close, new members are initiated, initiated members die. At best, any list is going to be only a snapshot of how things stood on the day the list was created. But even then, the list may be out of date as soon as it is created.
Caveat emptor.
