BTW... I'm going to put my money on Quota = 51.

Yes, meant Total.
My job starts at 2am (wake up at 12:30am). I was getting "fuzzy-brain" by 1:27pm Thursday.
Additionally, I corrected by 1st post that AGD is re-colonizing Fall 2013 (next year), not this fall.
The following school year -- predicted Fall 2014 -- Alpha Xi Delta will be re-colonizing at UCLA. They are working to secure housing on Hilgard Ave. (sorority row).
At one time, there were 23 sororities at UCLA (now 11 + AEPhi -- see footnote below) As chapters closed, many they sold their houses. While the W Hotel in Westwood now stands on what was 2 sororities lots, another few were torn down to become apartment buildings, but several became boarding houses (with little floorplan change). AZD is securing 1 of those boarding houses. The plans that were shown at the expansion presentations were gorgeous.
The hope is that, with a growing recruitment, other GLOs that are invited to UCLA will have the ability to purchase/lease the existing boarding houses (which were all originally sorority houses) and, one day, become a full sorority row once again. (And they lived happily ever after ...)
Footnote: AEPhi, from their HQ & local alumnae, wants to get back to their roots as a Jewish sorority. With permission of UCLA Panhellenic, they are not closing the chapter, but also not participating in Recruitment -- either formal or informal. In "Idle Mode" and will re-establish when they are ready.
