For us it's probably about 50/50. Most of the collegiate chapters send 2 (or many more) women and the alumnae chapters hopsfully send 1 but we usually only get about half of our chapters sending someone. But then you have all of the alumnae volunteers and Foundation members (also alumnae).

Plus, the collegians who are coming from chapters where they are paying their own way (chapter paid for x members and x+3 came) they are probably only paying for part time and the luncheons are often what is skipped.
