But that discussion really only matters within certain limits.
Where I went to school, a pledge class size could indicate that a fraternity in a certain tier might be rising or falling within its general "ranking".
And yet if a low tier fraternity of large size takes a big pledge class, it does not necessarily mean anything to the local social order.
Generally speaking, at a given school sororities will tend to be fewer in number and larger in size than fraternities.
So getting numbers is often about having the funds and size to be able to have mixers with sororities. Aside from that consideration, a fraternity's size is not all that important. It is the quality of the guys you take that matters.
Social standing matters too, of course, but numbers can tip the scales for houses that are in a position where their ability to mix with certain sororities is in question.

Not to discount NHPC, there seems to be a different mind set on how recruitment is, correct?
In Schools where there are NHPC Chapters, the numbers or low except HBC/U such as Langston, Brown, Howard, NC A& T,etal.
There will always be stronger Chapters but in retrospect, they to can fall from grace becasue of stupidity. Charters or removed and so are the Chapters. It hurts no one but themselves does it?
Granted in each part of the Country each is toataly different, but still have to report to eachs HQs.
Not every School is going to be signicant other than inside their little area.
There are other parts of the country that have Chapters and follow the rules and regulations.
PNM Numbers do not mean a thing!
They only mean something when the are Initiated and stay to work for the Chapter and grow.
