And for those inquiring minds...quota was 38.
252 girls started recruitment
If you do the math...that means that only 24 girls either dropped out or did not match which is terrific!
There is talk that another sorority will be brought on campus in the Fall of 2008, but I do not know if the official "We are open for expansion" word has been said by the Greek Life Office. Each chapter right now has between 135-150 girls (which for a school of about 6500 undergrads total is a lot) so adding another chapter shouldn't hurt anyone; it'll just bring each chapter's numbers down to the level where girls can really know each other. I do know that Fall total is 90 (and has been for a looooong time) and there's talk about raising that--especially since Wash U has not really done "Fall Informal Recruitment" truly since the Fall of 1998. Some chapters have done informal COBing in the Fall to get to total but all of Wash U's chapters used to do an informal recruitment semi-structured by the Greek Life Office.
