One chapter met it at least 3 or 4 times since I've been around (5 years). Another chapter has come basically just under it a couple times (35-38 members). The last time a chapter reached total was spring 2007.
The thing is, f
or a chapter to have 2 new members in the spring semester is VERY rare because of deferred recruitment. For them to change it to 30 now seems strange with one of the chapters at 28 members, especially because of the unusually large interest from freshmen this year. It would make sense if after this spring recruitment they decided to change it because all of the chapters were truly struggling. But why would they change it now?
Another reason that I don't understand is because every year, by the time spring semester comes around, 1 or 2 of the chapters would always be above 30 members (and usually above 35). So why lower it to 30?
