What is the largest national sorority? - Page 4

These numbers will tend to fluxuate as the year goes on. Last year, KD closed 3 chapters for different reasons. This year, we are chartering at least 2. So that means we were at 125, down to 122, but we'll be back up to 124. It's nice to see that so many are about the same size.
I think one thing people need to keep in mind too is when each sorority was founded. Year joining NPC doesn't mean anything, because each sorority was founded much earlier. For example, KD was founded in 1897 and didn't join NPC until 1912. There are other sororities that were founded 25 or more years before us that may have about the same amount of chapters. So I guess the growth rate would be interesting.
For anyone that's a stats major, it would be awesome to see all these kind of stats! I wish NPC would have a more up to date website, that thing hasn't been changed in ages. All those kind of stats would be just fun to have!

APhi.. You are correct... the 176 is AOPi's total chapters chartered... However, I could not find which ones are currently opened! I figured, I would just post... and someone out here in GC Kindgom would correct me!!!! HELP!!!!!

Thanks for the up-date on Alpha Phi.. I will change it in a few... I PM'd you the list I pulled off APhi's website... Can you tell me which ones are closed?

This goes for everyone... If you have up-to-date information (oour HQ's websites are not always)... Please let me know...

Nit pick away... I think everyone on here, knows I do about Pi Phi!! We all just love our GLOs, (as we should)!

In the Greek Bond,
Shelly

Actually Alpha Epsilon Phi does have an active website. It's aephi.org. And we, Alpha Chi Omega officially have 133 open chapters not 132.

Thank you AXWhoah...

Alpha Epsilon Phi appears to be updating their website, everywhere I clicked said "coming soon." I guess I should have been more specific... The same for Theta Phi Alpha... Both seem to have inactive websites... or websites under construction.

The Alpha Chi Omega website under collegiate search states 132 chapters, however, they list 135, so I assumed some closed... I am finding that many of our GLO's websites need to be updated.... I PM'd you the list, please let me know, what needs to be added and or changed.

Thank you!

Angels & Arrows, we are sharing a brain! I have been trying to do this same thing. ASA's % is like 48% - we have around 70 closed I think (we were one of the ones who lost lots when we went NPC).

You can still access TPA's old site which lists all the chapters but you have to go in thru the "back door."

I have some of the groups you don't at home, I'll PM you tonight.

Delta Gamma has 142 Collegiate Chapters with #143 on the way being colonized in North Carolina this year. We have over 190,000 initiates and 14,100 of them are current DG collegians. We also have 290 alumnae groups!!
I got all this information off the DG website....Under Fun Facts....there is some really interesting stuff!!

When I watch Seinfeld, the first thing that pops in my head is "Hey, she's a DG"

Which makes the average chapter size 99 women!

I'm pretty sure Alpha Chi Omega is the largest national sorority(though I'm not an Alpha Chi). I heard it while going through recruitment

whiteroses · #11 08-02-2002, 12:16 AM

well we are the largest npc sorority with the largest number or collegiate members

theta sig agd · #12 08-02-2002, 08:43 PM

Chi Omega is the largest org at this time! They are an awesome
organization, this coming from someone NOT in chi omega.

I think we are all proud of our orgs accomplishments and that is why we offer our own stats. Not that we discredit any other group.

Im not sure what the numbers for Alpha Gam are. I know my chapter was the 178th when we were installed and (210th one ever to that date) Since then we have had other installations and some closers but Im not sure on the numbers?????

Alpha Gamma Delta has had 179 chapters installed, with the most recent one at the Univ. of Tampa. As of right now, she has 114 active collegiate chapters across the United States and Canada.

This November, she will install her 180th chapter at Chapman University. You can bet $$$ that I'll be there.

I thought the U of Tampa was 180, and we had 179 before that? From my new member book, there were 179 without Tampa being included on that list. They would make 180 and Chapman would be 181

Chapman will be 180.

From the IHQ site:
On May 30th, 1904, 11 pioneering women came together to form Alpha Gamma Delta. Today Alpha Gamma Delta has grown to be an international organization with 179 collegiate chapters and 250 alumnae chapters, clubs and Junior Circles.
