Maybe OVER THE US Chi O is one of the largest, but around this immediate area, as in alums that can get in their car and drive down the street to help, not so much. That was the point Danielle was making with Pi Phi. I'm sure they've got alums around here from their Penn State chapter too, but EVERYBODY from Penn State has alums in Pittsburgh.
And to be blunt, comparing CMU and the Ivy League schools just doesn't work. It's not just because the Ivy League schools are academically challenging that they have their reputation, it's the old boy network (or the perception of its existence) you get from those schools too. I would not say the same thing about CMU.
Plus, the Greek systems at U Penn & Cornell and the Greek systems at Harvard and Yale are WORLDS apart. Harvard doesn't even recognize the sororities officially.
