Smaller houses
Some really important things to consider…
One: small houses have an amazing opportunity for leadership opportunities. Since there are less members fewer people try to take positions in the house which means you have a good shot at getting one young. If your looking to build your skills thsi is defiantly the way to go.
Two: Chapters can change completely within 4 years. I have seen large strong chapters go down hill in a year. And smaller weaker chapters become powerhouses. It all depends on what their goal is and how they run their chapter. Realize that if you like the brothers other people will too. Trust your judgment
Three: Honestly smaller chapters do have issues because of low membership. Usually their members have to work harder, take on more responsibility, or perhaps even pay more in dues to make up for a lack of numbers. On the other hand they do have (in my opinion) stronger bonds and better friendships.
The best way to go into rush is look for the people that you get along with the best. If you are torn between two chapters go with the one that is growing because “usually” they will continue to do so. Chapters that rest on their laurels are usually about to crash and burn.
No matter what your choice your experience will be amazing. REMEMBER you get out of it as much as you put into it.
