We have summer rush, and so most guys have no clue who they will narrow it down to b/c they are busy with senior year still.
I'd say that in a given year we'll have 3 guys that we know that we will give a bid card to if they rush...usually those guys are sophomores with friends in the house already (and these rushee's hang out with us regularly) or they are little brothers of guys in the house already.
Summer rush is where everything is done...there has been an effort to get more out of formal rush but over the past 3 years only a total of 150 guys have even attended formal rush events, and out of that probably only 30 have signed with chapter during that time (most of that remaining 120 are actually in Pike now...they don't have a house which affords them different rush tactics and experiences).
We have gotten a total of 3 out of formal in the past 3 years...2 from 3 years ago, 1 from 2 years ago, and last year we were already full with our pledge class (not due to a quota or anything, but since we have summer rush the freshmen are allowed to move into the houses at the beginning of the year, so we had filled the available spots already, and managed to find guys who were going to live in the dorms).
