Is bigger or smaller better when it comes to sororities?

Ladies, to be honest, greek life could very well be a deciding factor if the schools are otherwise equal to the young lady.

very true, but no one can say, YES, you will be in ABC sorority if you choose this school.

Agreed. But it isn't a matter of "bigger" versus "smaller." Some bigger Greek systems have very laid back recruitments and some smaller ones are infamously cut throat. All other things being equal, I think it's more a matter of finding the right cultural fit versus comparing the "odds."

Exactly what I was going to say.

And even if a school has over 15 chapters, the chapters might be more similar than at a campus with 5 uniquely different chapters. Definitely consider the culture. Feel free to ask about the culture of the schools you are considering or do a search if you don't feel comfortable sharing.

Agreed. Because if you want to be an ABC, being an ABC at one school can be very different than being an ABC at another.

Also, being in the bottom tier sororities at some schools will afford you way more opportunities and events than being in a top tier at others.

I agree with looking at culture, rather than your chances, 100%
