Yes, numbers sometime supercede reputation and vice versa.

If a group doesn't pull in the number they were aiming for? What's the extra factor? Did they set a number that was unrealistic for their chapter/campus? Did not as many guys go through rush? Both of these can happen. Or, did they invite a large number of guys to their final pre-bid party and only a few accepted bids the next day? If it is the last version, then something is definately up whether it is a group's rep or another fraternity had a great rush and took guys that the other group would normally get.
