Upper bottom, lower middle.
Where it goes from there, depends on how they recruit. There is a certain fraternity on campus here that just came back on that plans on bidding as many guys as possible in order to get off colony status (yes, I know it's absurdly easy to figure out who it is). That's not a good way to do things. The guys they've started off with are questionable at best. However, if a traditionally strong chapter starts off building slowly with a group of excellent individuals, the skies the limit.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
