She is really looking forward to recruitment, I hope she finds a wonderful sisterhood.
There are still a very few schools that have bed quota, and a very very few that put a "cap" on chapter sizes (i.e. not allowing sororities to go over total/ceiling for campus, overriding NPC's quota rules) but they are definitely the exception rather than the norm.

That isn't a glass half-empty attitude, it is a smart and realistic one.
