Who is your most frequent competitor?

This database, developed by irishpipes, is about as comprehensive as it gets!

Using irishpipes' database and being under the weather most of the day, I figured out the stats for Alpha Delta Pi. We are on the same campus as these GLOs the following times:


CW: 73
ZTA: 61
DDD: 58
KD: 57
ACW: 54
DG: 52
KKG: 52
PBF: 47
DZ: 45
GFB: 44
KAQ: 44
SK: 41
AF: 39
FM: 39
AGD: 35
AOP: 29
AXD: 24
SDT: 20
SSS: 20
AEF: 19
ASA: 9
DFE: 6
FSS: 6
AST: 2
QFA: 1


This is the perfect example of why the word "competitor" doesn't work. Five of the sororities under 36 are at Pitt, which has 11 sororities. Does that mean that the Pitt chapter of ADPi shouldn't even deign to look at the competitors under the halfway mark? Of course not! The GLOs which each sorority will find themselves competing differ from campus to campus.

I think this is better seen as a list of which other GLOs are most likely to focus on the same campus for a chapter.

I wish Phi Mu and ADPi shared more campuses than that...but the 39 campuses we do share is great! YAY MM!

Interesting... are there any GLO's that don't share at least one campus with every other NPC organization?

Me, too! I was really shocked when I saw the stats.

The list proved one thing to me much more clearly than "who we compete against"; it showed which sororities tended to have chapters in which state. It's also amazing how many chapters of EVERY sorority have closed, for one reason or another!
