The Recruitment Model, that most groups profess to follow, impiles that chapter members go out and seek new members that wouldn't normally be "joiners."
The Rush Model, that most organizations actually do follow, implies that the groups mostly divide up the natural joiners.
If you follow the Rush model, as the natural joiners become less, you adjust Total downwards to divide up the natural joiners more evenly among the various groups. This removes some of the pressure to recruit the people that aren't just signing up.
If you believe in doing that . . its fine. But I thought most of you were trying to follow a Recruitment Model?
Also, by adjusting total down you run more of a risk that some the good girls will fall between the cracks because they can't get into the houses they want, and would want them, if the house wasn't forced to cut so heavily.
