The chapter wouldn't have multiple new member classes if they couldn't extend to at least the 6 week mark. That's not the intention at all. With all the information the new members have to know, and knowing full well that they also have classes they need to go to and study for, it'd be stupid to have it be less than that.
Also, it's required that initiation be at least 2 weeks before the start of finals so that the new member period doesn't conflict with them at all.
As for us being even remotely close to total... we're not. We have COR all year, but right now there's only... 13 girls? So clearly more new members are needed.
