An often overlooked point:

I don't know how much smaller SDT is, but bringing a new group on campus usually decreases the size of the largest chapters, and can help a struggling chapter by comparison.

And now for the science:

At Hypothetical State, chapter total is 100. The last couple of years, quota has been 30 (120 PNM's), so chapters A, B, and C each have 120 women, while D misses quota each year and only has 80. Chapter E colonizes. Quota is now 24. If chapter D can continue to get 20 girls, they are now much closer in size to the others. A PNM who sees a huge difference between 80 and 120 may not notice as much between 80 and 100.
