During formal recruitment, their quota will be set around 70, so in theory, if they can get a large number of upperclassmen women this fall, their chapter size could be quite a bit larger than the others on campus, though I doubt this will end up being an issue. Quota for the other houses will be set as others have said around 20 or so. No firm decision has been made as to where ADPi will be for formal recruitment, but they've been given the choice between the dance studio in the gym and the Morris House on the hill - apparently there are plans to shuttle the PNMs between srat row and the hill using golf carts. Also, unlike in previous years, the schedule is 6-5-3-2 and what used to be philanthropy night (night 1) is now "open house" night while philanthropy has been rolled in with sisterhood night on night 3. ADPi had girls here on Friday for a Meet the Greeks cookout from UVa and VA Tech so that the PNMs could meet collegiate women and not just nationals reps.

There was a vote taken by Panhel towards the end of winter term regarding whether ADPi would be allowed to take upperclass women before formal recruitment. The interesting thing is that no quota has been set on the number they can take or whether the number of upperclass women they recruit will affect their quota during formal recruitment. Both Panhel and ADPi seem very disorganized - the informal recruitment rules weren't finalized until two weeks into fall term and the details of formal recruitment have yet to be decided.
