Wow, I can't even imagine a chapter of 150. I'm at UMass, which is a big school by New England standards (18,000), but there are relatively few Greeks (maybe 600). Our biggest fraternity has about 50, our biggest sorority about 60. Everyone generally stays in the 30-40 range, and I think that's about the right size for us. I know every brother in my house, where he's from, what he's studying, who he spent last night with, etc. I didn't even have 150 people in my graduating class from high school, I can't imagine calling that many people brother.
On a slightly seperate note, having a small Greek system is not a bad thing either. At UMass, being a Greek means living a life seperate from 95% of campus- the houses are off-campus, way off campus in a few cases, most people have no idea what a Greek is, and if they do it's usually not a positive conotation. The people who are Greeks want it and work for it- there's no way to half-ass Greek life here.
