NPC Recruitment and Chapter Listing: Fall 2022-Spring 2023

From what I heard, ASA did not do formal recruitment. I'm really surprised that Theta Phi Alpha didn't do very well. They were doing pretty good for a chapter with no house on that campus.

They are down to around 40 members if I have been told correctly, so they were basically unable to complete formal recruitment. They do the bulk of their recruitment informally.

IU does not set campus total due to the different living situations. There are large traditional chapter houses, one chapter lives in an apartment block, and one chapter has a central meeting spot. By not setting campus total, chapters can better meet their housing goals. Some houses sleep 70ish while some could sleep 110+. This allows all chapters to be able to stay financially viable while making quota. Some COB to fill bed spots or a number their national organization would like them to meet.

As far as the 1 PMN released...if social media is to be believed she was an "influencer" who went to parties in the late fall and posted live from a fraternity house and then the house suffered some university consequences. There was a "fear" that she might make a habit of it and she was released by all chapters. I cannot verify this, but I have seen it written and heard it a couple of different places.
