There's a PDF on UA Panhellenic/UA Greek Life (here) that's got the recruitment statistics for 2001-2009, and when Alpha Phi recolonized in 2008, the "receiving bids" percentage prior to Alpha Phi's selection of their new members was 72%, but after they selected their class, the absorption of girls who had participated in FR made it 81%.

So while, if there was not a (re)colonization going on this year, that would be a lower percentage than usual (as the prevalent number for the years before they decided on opening for extension and the year after extension was 82-83%), I think we should wait and see if we can find out how many of the girls who participated in recruitment (but without a bid somewhere else) get Delta Gamma. If DG's absorption of girls who did participate in recruitment is anywhere near what Alpha Phi's was, that could provide a very impressive number.
