I guess it just all depends on what the student population is like! I do want to point out that my sorority, Omega Phi Alpha, absorbed one of Penn State's locals, Theta Alpha Pi, so they are now our Alpha Theta chapter, named that in honor of their history!
Good luck and have fun with prefs!

For the most part, in the Northeast, you'll find more chapters with fewer members each.

I kind of prefer it that way. It would blow my mind to have 250 sisters, and see girls on a regular basis wearing my letters, and not even know their name.

yeah, at Arizona State each sorority has around 100, at least I believe that's their cap...but its like, can you really call each girl your sister...you really will only really get to know a few of them!
Before finding OPA, Delta Zeta was colonizing, and they ended up taking 93 girls (I wasn't one of them, but I tried!) but I realized after that there was no way I could really get to know that many girls, and remember who they all were!

I second that. My school has 8 sororities and we have about 80 members each, give or take a few. It's not really possible to know *everyone*, but it's a much smaller, closer community. I wouldn't be able to handle a chapter of 250!

We have seven social sororities on my school's campus, with membership ranging from 71 (last semester's total) to 8...so even though the organizations at or close to total have a small membership when looked at on a grand scale, within the campus community they seem huge!

I know it sounds strange, but it really isn't that hard to get to know everyone in a large chapter!

We had 120 girls in my chapter and I knew every one of them. I could tell you where they were from, their interests, their major, their close friends in the house, etc. Honestly it wasn't hard at all to know everyone and nobody had a problem with it. I mean, you see them at least once a week at meeting and chances are you live with them, take classes with them, and at the very least go to socials with them! No I wasn't best friends with everyone but you're not going to have that in a chapter of 20 or 200. There were actually times when I wished my house was bigger because I felt like we could have made a bigger impact in philantrhopy and campus events if we had more members!
Anyway, Petals I hope you're having fun tonight at pref! I can't wait to hear how it goes!

That's a lot of sororities. I went to the wrong school.

While I'm sure it's possible to have a large chapter and know everyone, I think that there are many more who would say the exact opposite. My friend who was Tridelt at Auburn had a lot of girls in her chapter too, and she told me she didn't know all of them very well.
It may also differ based on the campus Greek culture. I probably knew a couple hundred people at school but the majority weren't in my sorority.
