Here's how it breaks down at my school, which has one of the top three largest Greek systems in the country (according to the statistics compiled by GreekUSA and others). There are several sororities that could vie for the biggest--numbers change from year to year--but I think the top 5 biggest would be something like:
Delta Delta Delta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Delta Tau
These sororities probably have 150-160 members each, but there are others that probably have close to 150.
As far as the biggest fraternities go:
Alpha Tau Omega (the biggest--they're the football player house)
Zeta Beta Tau (one of the 4 Jewish fraternities on our campus)
Sigma Chi (popular nationally)
Phi Delta Theta or Lambda Chi Alpha (also popular nationally). But Acacia, Beta Theta Pi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon might be ranked up there too. I graduated 4 years ago, so I can't be 100% sure.
Pi Kappa Alpha was the second biggest after ATO's until they got kicked off campus for a couple of years. They were seen as a "preppy" house--the sororities loved them because they were good looking and most of them came from rich families.
