Another thing to consider is the culture at U of I. Sophomores make up a lot of the pool of PNMs. Most chapters pledge a lot of sophomores, even the occasional junior. This can affect graduation/retention rates, and that is one reason why the perfectly acceptable chapter size is more of a range of maybe 150-180 rather than a more consistent number.
