If a band costs $2000, and the hotel ballroom rental costs $500, and the decorations cost $1000, the party costs $3500.

IF your weeny chapter has 35 members, that's $100 per member.

IF you chapter has 100 members, that's $35 per member.

Bigger chapters have more OF EVERYTHING, including friendship and brotherhood/sisterhood.

The 100-member chapter above could have three $35 per member parties and spend $105 per member - just a bit more than the weenys spend for only one.

The myth of a small quality chapter is a myth.

I'm insulted by your implication that necessarily small chapters at small colleges aren't "quality". You are rude and obviously don't understand the dynamics of a smaller chapter. Were you a member of a pledge class with 55 people? Obviously there is no way that they could all know each other equally well, even at the end of 5 years. Obviously, if the other chapters at Clemson wanted a new sorority on campus, they, for whatever reasons, want smaller chapters. They believe that smaller chapters would give them more "quality". sbhill's sorority wants to work closer toward total first. That doesn't mean that her chapter or ANY of the Clemson chapters aren't "quality". I don't see how you can encourage her to "leave her chapter". You don't know the first thing about her, her chapter, or the situation. Leave her alone.
