Ok, so they wouldn't have to COB. But a desirable chapter WILL make quota every year, and at most schools, if a chapter makes quota for four years in a row, it's over total. What makes a chapter "top tier" is the reputation, not the difference between having 189 and 200 members (although being at or above total is usually requisite).
