OK. There is quota (the maximum amount of new members you can get through formal recruitment) and total (the maximum number of members a group can have). A group may do informal if they did not meet quota OR if they are still below total. They are not required to do informal, however. A chapter that has just one open spot may have a friend of the chapter already in mind, for example, and may offer her membership without holding rush.
