Smallest percentage of charters active?
This sort of goes with History, since it is Membership at a Macro scale.
I was looking at the Chapter roll ( http://www.tep.org/chapters/chapter-roll) and active chapter list ( http://www.tep.org/chapters/active-chapters) for Tau Epsilon Phi
Right now of 140 charters that Tau Epsilon Phi has granted, 14 are active, so only 10% of the chapters are active. Does anyone know whether any current members of the NIC, NPC or NPHC have (or had) a lower percentage?

Didn't TEP have huge legal problems a year or so ago when the membership effectively sued the governing body? I'm sure that greatly impacted their active chapter roll.

I think their percentage was low prior to the lawsuit.

They were, but the legal issues existed for a long long time.

Huge mismanagement of nfp funds and the Board was dealing in the mismanagement too. Some Chapters went local in order to deal with the situation before the law suit.

I seem to recall NBH crunching the numbers a few years ago, which leads me to believe the answer is Chi Omega, at least among NPC's.

There was a post in 2009 in the KKG forum that put their inactive rate at 13.9% of total chartered chapters. |
That list is completely off.

Yes, TEP had some severe problems with their National Executive Director and other leadership (See http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/22/ny...frat.html?_r=0) among other things they went 10 years without an election for the National Board because the NED said that *no* chapters were eligible to vote because none had fulfilled their financial obligations. Some chapters did bail rather than paying humungous amounts that the National Office said they owed...

For some of the older NPC sororities where there were chapters formed at small women's colleges/finishing schools that are smaller than any school that an NPC sorority would go to today.

What is NBH and FTW?
For lowest percentage closed, my guess would have been one of the NPHC ...don't they have almost 1000 chapters each?

NutBrnHr (a GC poster who has trouble being objective).
For The Win (your post was spot on).
They have over 1000 chapters each, but those include undergraduate and graduate chapters.

There's that, but there have also been occasions in Alpha where chapters have have been chartered at a school, closed shortly thereafter for low (or even nonexistent) enrollment of eligible men, moved to another campus (our Delta Chapter did this), and then a second chapter is chartered at the first school.
Or a charter that has been revoked for risk management issues and then a brand new chapter is chartered there with a new name (SMU).
Or a metropolitan (city-wide) chapter that grows and splits off into separate chapters.
Because of cases like that, I'd really have no clue how to even count. Nor would I be very interested in doing so in the first place. No shade.
