9 different fraternities lay claim to being largest

Wow, I didn't think that I was going to start this much drama.

The point is not to nit-pick to death the numbers, but for orgs to colonize on the right campuses and support the chapters they do have, rather than throwing a ton of stuff at the wall in an attempt to be the biggest.

I agree with this statement.

WARNING: OUTSIDER TYPING

As an uninformed outsider who doesn't consider any of this dramatic (back and forth for entertainment purposes isn't the same as serious and dramatic convo), I now see how some non-NPHCers may feel when they read the occasional "who has the most members"/"we don't need a lot of members---quality over quantity"/"what's the best NPHC sorority and fraternity" rants. Gag me with a spooo-oooon.

But, I also think most of this is tongue in cheek, right? Does the aggregate (beyond some individuals) really take this seriously?

Mostly no, I don't think so. But then I don't come from an org that claims to be the biggest anyway. (And at some point the claims are so strange, "First Greek Letter Sorority for women that didn't use brown as a color," "Largest fraternity west of the Mississippi on alternate Tuesdays," etc.)*

*hands you a spare spoon*


*yes it's a joke, apparently I have to explain this.

It's not your fault. HawaiiTKE is the dingdong who made this stupid thread rise from the dead, where it belongs.
