Numbers have dropped a bit, and a few more chapters have been participating in spring recruitment because of it, but most chapters are still pretty close to quota. Last I checked our quota was in the 160s. The last numbers I saw listed one house as having 142 members, with the next closest being in the 150s. While that chapter is obviously smaller than the rest, they usually do spring recruitment and make up the difference. Though there are the historically smaller houses on our campus, those are the ones that usually participate in spring recruitment to raise their numbers and get some great new members. I would be really, really surprised to see a chapter at UF close in the next few years.

You mean total not quota.
So in other words, 142 is your smallest chapter? Someone said on this thread that total was 161. Are there a lot of groups that are over total? That's when you kind of get in trouble - when the large groups keep taking quota in formal rush and going over total and the smaller chapters never catch up during the "off season."
