maybe so, but it would take longer to get to know those girls in a larger chapter vs. a smaller one. idk, I prefer being in a smaller chapter - it's more personal and our chapter is pretty close which I like

It's very interesting to hear everyone's takes on the different campus sizes out there.

Our smallest chapter was about 20-30.
and largest was 60-70.

We had around 70 members most of my years, and I knew everyone in my house. I could be good friends with anyone I wanted to, but usually we were all a part of a big gang, but in that gang we had our little groups of best buds. Usually went by pledge class.

That's how ours, is, too...people form little "cliques" within the sorority, usually by pledge class or by "family." nothing wrong with it, really. everyone is super nice and we all get along so well and despite the fact that everyone has their own "little group" that they are always with, we always are able to come together and cooperate with each other and stuff.

Probably. The original first post was really vague and confusing.

i have no problem with my chapter cliques because after all we are sisters in the end!! plus there are so many good reasons to be in a big chapter.
1 it means that you are in a good chapter that girls want to join 2 all the hot frat boys like the guy to girl ratio haha!! 3 what if some girl wants to start something you have more friends than she does so you always win!!!!

and for what it's worth, i have seen close sisterhoods in absolutely HUGE chapters and a decided lack of sisterhood in small chapters and vice versa. sisterhood has more to do with the people involved and the willingness to work at it than the number of members.
