This isn't necessarily true. The chapters may have been at total right after FR but lost women since then to early graduation/transfers/women leaving the sorority, etc. Also, some chapters I've seen have preferred to wait to plan a really nice event before extending bids. Even if this chapter is several women away from being at total after FR, they'll wait to plan a nice informal event and extend open bids after the COB events. This is usually done so the chapter can have a cohesive new member class instead of having a staggered new member class that started a few weeks after the new member class selected via FR.
