As for the issue of chapter size and national recognition, I referenced a few sororities that I thought had greater name recognition in any region. Chi-o for instance, has about 175 chapters according to wikipedia. The site I looked at for the other sorority showed about 40-50 chapters, mostly in the Midwest. I'm not saying that makes it 'bad' by midwest standards, just that it wouldn't be viewed the same way in the South.

Someone already made the point about how unreasonable it would be to have a 100+ chapter at a private school with 1,000 undergraduates - even in the South! The other thing I'd like to point out is that my organization is the second largest (chapter wise) in the country and our average chapter size is about 80-90. Somehow that doesn't lend much validity to the fact that a "good" chapter size is 150+.
