Largest Fraternity Chapter

Quick Question: What is the largest fraternity chapter in the nation?

I know Sigma Nu at Ole Miss was over 200 members at one point. I'm not sure if they are over that right now.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was Pike at FSU?

Do Pledges count? Maybe not until they get initiated then added to Chapter rolls.

Just thinking.

We have one over 200 now (Sigma Chi) and one just under...200 hundred wouldn't be a marking point...I think Sigma Chi may even be at 220 though I could be wrong

It's probably Pike at FSU, if I had to guess.

I'd count pledges.
So your largest will be (at most campuses) right after initiating their fall class, and taking their Spring class.

However, most large/established chapters don't even take a Spring. So their largest would be right after taking their Fall class.

If I had to guess, our largest has to be one of these, but I don't have numbers and I'm pretty sure none is over 200 (it would be Miss if any)

University of Mississippi
Auburn University
Purdue University
Oklahoma State University

Don't worry, I don't think you're a tool or anything. The Florida Beta chapter has 158 active, 37 pledges.

Also not to be a tool but...

For the fall semester grade report for Central Florida Beta had 91 including the pledges. I don't see spring giving them 60 something pledges.

I mean, I couldn't tell you our top 5 chapters so you are a lot more educated than I am.

I don't think they were talking about Central Florida - I think they were talking about the University of Florida. Gentlemen?

The Eta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha has over three hundred members.

It is an alumni chapter in Atlanta. The OP didn't specify undergrad or alum, NPHC or NIC, so there.

Smaller than the UofA...actually.

I believe there is at least one (Sigma Chi) over 200.
