Recolonizing - How does it work?

The reasoning I heard was that then they would not have any graduating members, making them larger than the other groups entering FR next year. ZTA presented a compelling argument, I thought, about their attrition numbers over the first two semesters of their colonies, which (if they held true) would have basically equaled the average number of seniors graduating from the other chapters. However, I think the impossibility of knowing for sure there would be attrition scared some of the chapters into thinking ZTA would be significantly larger entering FR next year.

Yeah, I would have DEFINITELY voted thumbs down on this.

You don't know what people know, and wouldn't it have just been a giant "coincidence" when all the seniors turned out to be double majors who were staying for another year.

CaffeinatedPNM: Typically a chapter will try to recruit up to total. If they don't, there's a reasoning behind it.
