Too fat to recruit: or, DePauw, the Sequel

So it's probably a more superficial process to that of NPHC groups generally.

I know many members of NPC sororities that would take serious offense to that statement, that their recruitment is a "superficial process," particularly members of Sigma Delta Tau, which was founded in order to combat religious discrimination in other organizations.

I said they feel the same way, meaning that numbers aren't necessarily the MOST important aspect of the sisterhood. If you notice, NPC chapters are not fighting over which organization is the largest--it is generally agreed upon that Chi Omega is. Not all NPC sororities are grappling for numbers all the time, as opposed to focusing on quality.

OK, I'm really confused. Largest org has nothing to do with this thread. BTW, if you think NPC groups DON'T debate that, I'd advise you to search for threads on here that definitely prove otherwise.

Like alphagamuga, I'd like to know the names of the NPC groups who don't care about attaining quota and total.

Based on what I've read here, I can only think of one. SDT at Bama.

True.

If you look at the number of open, active, collegiate chapters, Chi Omega is largest with 171. (DZ is 2nd, I think)

If you look at the largest number of initiated members since its founding, Chi Omega is largest with 300,000+
