Oh, far from it.
LXA is also in the larger catagory, but, because of adding chapters at some schools that maybe should not have had them, having to many chapters with out enough visitations losing them, or jsut having chapters that did not follow the LXA Ideal get de-chartered.
There was a time when many of the Union and Miami Triads did not get into expansion and the only two Greek Fraternitys who did were LXA and TKE.
Union Triad Greeks are and seem to be continually small in chapters. Miami Triad Greeks fianally woke up and said hey, we are being stagnent.
Of course, this was in the 60's and many have taken a different look over the years.
Now, LXA and many are looking at a two pronged attack for expansion.
1. Recolonization of Closed Chapters.
2. Expansion on New Schools where there is little Greek existence.
Bigger is not better not only in number of Chapters, but also Chapters Number of members.
The only time bigger is better, is when a National can keep control of the situation by helping through visitations and keep working with them. If a Chapter is in trouble, working with them more often.
The rub of this is the economic side. Called Money, The Big Green, how to pay for all of this.
LXA has one of the largest staffs of ELCs. traveling personel who visit chapters. But here again, it is smaller than it used to be because of Economics. Money, Green Backs, Coin of the Rhelm.
Many Greek Organizations have Alum volunteers who work withing a specific area so not to be a hardship on them.
Some that I can think of are KS, ASA, AGD, GPhiB.
Dont worry about size, Size means nothing if the chapters suck.
