Interesting difference, just depends on how the house was built. I think Tri Delta and Chi Omega hold around 60 at Ole Miss(might be more). Our houses are much more "land locked" than other sorority houses at other universities. I know for AOII with our new addition last year, there really wasn't anymore room for more housing, just a new chapter room and a dining room extension. I think Theta is adding some new suites with their new addition they are working on this summer. Phi Mu just finished a huge addition/renovation too. Ole Miss Phi Mu could probably comment on that better.

It's funny that anyone would call a house that holds 40-60 women small!

It depends on the University.
A house that small wouldn't even hold a whole pledge class at Arkansas. If it were on the low side (40), it would hold just over half a pledge class.

Oh I hope I didn't come off as rude! Obviously a house with 40-60 women is very large, but I'm surprised that they aren't bigger considering how large the chapters are at Ole Miss. And I know part of why my house holds so many is because it's newer (built in the 50s) and has been added onto (in the 90s, I think).
Chi Omega's house at KU is a registered historical building, so they have to go through all kinds of paper work to do any building (as they learned when a truck drove through their formal room last year!). I'm not sure if they've built onto it or not. It is positively enormous and the outside looks completely uniform like it was built exactly that way 100 something years ago.
I know chapters are on the large side at KU (mine is 150ish), but only 13-15% of students are Greek, so go figure.
Sorry to have gone SO FAR off topic!

It's all good! Trust me I think all of the sororities at Ole Miss would love to accommodate an entire pledge class for living in the house! But I don't think that will happen in my lifetime, since quota is usually in the mid 80s!

Oh....you weren't rude! I was just thinking (as a homeowner) that a house that sleeps 48 is pretty HUGE!

I believe that it can have about 50-60 girls in the house. The exec. suites are a little bigger than the other room but not by much. We also added a new chapter room and made the living room bigger.
