Wow, chapter TOTAL at my school is about the same as the size of a NM class at UGA.

ETA: Let the speculation about numbers and tiers and sizes and stigmas start now.

I can't speak to tiers or stigma, but there's been a lot of progress by a lot of groups in membership.

It looks like pretty good news, really. It might be a realistic goal that every group be at total sometime this year.

Housing , budgeting etc. And it can show it is time to add a new chapter.

That's my 2 cents

It's not up to those on GC to decide whether or not UGA needs another chapter. That is up to the school's Panhellenic.

Why is it so important for GC to know what each chapter's size is? It's not. I find it incomprehensible that people would rather know and make it harder for the smaller chapters to recruit b/c of it.

Texas Princess, you may have misunderstood my intent. I was not making a judgement about total/expansion. It is ALWAYS up to a Panhellenic to make that decision. However, statistical information is used in making that decision.

It is also a positive for all NPC and others to see such an interest in Greek Life! I'm thrilled to see the numbers increasing across the country.

I also think it shows that, as I posted earlier this season, in one of these threads, that all the chapters are so large that you are bound to find a group within the larger group with whom you feel "at home" whether you are a scholar, athlete, party girl, introvert, leader, follower, actress, musician, cheerleader, etc. However, happening to meet that group during recruitment rotation is a roll of the dice, isn't it?

Good point, harder for those of us from chapters where Total is 45, so none of these chapters look "small" to us. I guess a range like "total membership ranges from 150 to 200" would also give us the type of info we'd like to know.

Actually, the harsh judgments probably wouldn't make much sense to anyone who is going to UGA. There doesn't seem to be a very tight relationship with "tiers" and size, as near as I can tell, in these days of release figures and quota additions.

A couple of groups are under total and will probably be CORing, but they are completely within striking distance of total, and that's worth celebrating too, especially if you look at the membership progress they are making.

What is the official total anyway? I thought recently it was 180-- so most of these would be above.

I actually thought it was 170 but I don't know.

ETA: does anyone remember what the UGA thread was called last spring when four groups were CORing? I thought it had the figure for total.
