I just want to add that do you know for sure whether chapters will even be participating next spring? Since there is formal in the fall, there is no way for you to know now who will be at/under/above total and hence participating in informal. I would urge you to look into that before formal registration is over and it's too late! Also, why the hesitation with formal? If you truly are keeping an open mind and want sisterhood I would suggest trying formal first and then worrying about informal. Good luck!
