"Made" guys in the Outfit is a little different than in other families. From what I can tell, Chicago started using the ceremony later than the rest, and the last known ceremony was in the 1980's. So, while there may be only around 28 guys who have formally been made in Chicago, that doesn't necessarily reflect the state of the Chicago mob by itself. Of course, that's not to say the Outfit is anywhere near what some believe it still is. It's still considered a viable family by the feds but, in terms of over all size and scope of activity, it's closer to New England or Philadelphia than it is any of the New York families. The DeCavalcantes are said to have 40-50 total members but their activity in recent years isn't reflective of that.
