Unless your school is attending meetings to get a headcount, I don't see why a group couldn't just ignore the school's edict and initiate whomever they want to, then only report 15 or however many pledges per semester until the restrictions go away or until things even out.

I'm not aware of HQs and schools comparing notes as to who has been initiated and pledged, so I don't really see why a group couldn't just keep two sets of books.

Not that I would ever advocate such a thing. That would be wrong.
