Your daughter will want to go ask those questions in person. Typically a colony will take approximately chapter average, but at IU it's a crap shoot. My guess would be +/- 175. But they are not required to take a particular number. They will want a range of freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, and they will have goals in mind for particular kinds of women that will more than likely make no sense to you. But you can assume they will want leaders who are well-connected on campus, girls who will set them off on the right foot socially (because that is a critical element of Greek Life at IU), and with a physical appearance such that simply being in their letters will be positive marketing.

It seems over the last few years that many colonies are taking fewer than their allowed number so that they can continue to do informal recruitment and give the colony more say over their membership. This is strictly my interpretation of recent numbers, however. And absolutely nobody can or will share any solid numbers or MS goals. Because AGAIN, DPhiE is a private organization and they don't have to divulge or consult with the outside world about who, what, when or why on any of these subjects.
