Recolonizing - How does it work?

[CaffeinatedPNM]

Question.

If campus total is 200 (as in, each sorority is allowed to have two hundred girls), would the re/colonizing chapter take 200ish (or 3/4 that, as with what y'all have said above)? Or would they take less than the 3/4 or..? I know this is going to be different per sorority and each case, but would they try to colonize a "full" chapter or just do partial?

One would assume full, but I just wanted to make sure I am understanding. :]

The issue here is stated versus actual total. Some schools go into rush with every chapter being at/above total already. Obviously if they only let a chapter colonize to total they'd be in a world of hurt. But typically (I think) a colony will pledge around the stated total. However, as I stated earlier, they they seem to be taking 10-15% fewer than that lately.
