If total is 100, and quota for that group is 25, but 5 seniors are living out...they know GOING INTO RUSH that their "real" quota (quota plus max # of QA's) is 30, right?

The QA new members would move in, more upperclass girls would be able to live out.

And if the chapter does not allow live outs, they might be able to squeeze a couple extra women into a room. Or temporarily convert the guest room into a standard room, or a study lounge into a bedroom.

And some of these houses have sleeping porches, so if you can fit another bunk bed in, you are fine. You just add another woman into one of the study rooms/day rooms whatever you want to call them.

While I haven't seen every house at IU, I do know that many of the houses have a bit of flexibility.

This is what my chapter does--we convert the upstairs informal into a 6-way and there's a smaller room downstairs we can make into a 2-girl room. Outside of that, it just means that the 4-way HAS to be a 4-way. If we have a little flexibility, the 5-way may become a 4-way, a 4-way may become a 3-way, etc. etc. The beds are easy because we just put another few bunk beds into the cold/warm dorms.
