I'm going to try to get past the loser comment here. Consider that every chapter at every campus is different, often because of campus dynamics. Every single GLO is likely to have a "top house" on one campus and be "bottom tier" on another. Does it matter? No, it evens out. And maybe that's what that campus likes- more mellow, don't want to throw crazy parties, or are very dedicated to community service. Let's be honest here, after you graduate college MOST people grow up and do not party like they did in college. Some don't and it works for them, but most move on. Sounds like you have a good chapter to spend four years with.

So since you've established you like the chapter on your campus, what are you looking for in regards to national presence? Networking opportunities, the number of people who recognize your fraternity, etc? Other than other chapters being "losers", are there any concrete reasons you can't get what you're seeking?
I was thinking maybe you were concerned because they are a smaller org nationally, but the first line on Theta Chi's "About" page rules that out:
Theta Chi Fraternity is one of the oldest and largest men's fraternities in North America today.
ETA: Thanks TSteven, fixed... That's what I get for trying to post on my way into a meeting!
