I believe the phase is "put up, or shut up".
On the original topic, Alpha Delt is more concerned about being the best fraternity, not the biggest. We choose not to charter organizations at every directional school (Northwest State College, Eastern Massachusetts University etc). I get a fresh inquiry every three weeks or so about starting ALpha Delt at various schools, but we choose not to go that way. If that makes us snobs, then so be it. Alpha Delt is well known amongst the top schools in North America. That's all we care about.

Just compare our chapter roll to US News rankings, or any other you care to choose.

I agree. It is hard to hear these claims (and those of Chi Phi) so many times without getting just a bit annoyed. Thank you for stating the case less provocatively and more throughly.

That wouldn't surprise me a bit.
