oldu:
The Midwest Region is the only of our 7 regions that I could not find a chapter listing on their site. The other 6 have an easily found chapter listing and only 1 of these regions does not list the college/university name beside the chapter designation. These lists are accurate, as ladygreek stated. Good luck.
I took it as the latter: I went to the websites and even those with listings didn't seem to be accurate according Baird's.

Funny, I had never heard of Baird's until GC. But I am happy to know it does include us.

Furthermore, for the record, Delta has over 900 chapters, many more than Kappa Sigma (234 according to their national website) or TKE (approximately 300 according to their national website). They are both wonderful organizations, but they have different considerations about how they organize their websites and chapter information. (And honestly, I doubt that obsessive-compulsive GLO-comparison research is one of their considerations either ... even if their way DOES happen to make it easier. It's a coincidence, imagine that!)

I think for the sake of apples to apples you should quote the number of collegiate chapters in your comparison. Especially since this discussion is only about college campuses.

I am a web developer, specifically the webmaster for our region, and I approve this message.
