funny you should ask that... much drama was made about this at our school this past week. the green book suggests that sisters who are abroad for an academic turn NOT be counted in total... therefore you can recruit more members to kind of take their place while they are gone since they aren't active at the school, even though they are still sisters in the chapter ...
BUT
the green book defines an "academic term" as AN ENTIRE YEAR's leave from school... therefore unless they are gone a whole year, they are still counted in total for you chapter the one semester that they are gone abroad. hope this helps!
