Only thing that I've heard this summer is that Maine Orono's chapter has been in communication with the RD and even though they are leaving, they want to do so with all of the i's dotted and t's crossed moneywise and documentationwise.

I think that most of the cards will be on the table by mid-october. Most of the chapters will have gone through rush and pledging and it should be obvious at that point which all-male chapters made an attempt to recruit co-ed. Also, we'll have the proposed by-law amendments, which should be a guide to indicate which chapters are going to roll the dice and try to get the rules changed. I know that by-law amendments go into affect at the end of convention, but I don't know whether something could get passed early in convention that would change the characteristics of the vote.
