It amuses me that guys, who don't have quota or total or have to follow it, would go along with the "doesn't meet quota/total = bad chapter" fallacy.

Lots of chapters don't have big houses to maintain and there is no fucking reason to force them to be huge.

I could care less if a chapter is seen as "worst" on campus if the women are having a fun experience. I was going to add something else but I think I'll keep my mouth shut.
Ok, 33girl, now tell us how you really feel. LOL!

But you are right. I think one other complication can come from within the chapter itself when part of the chapter is perfectly happy with being smaller and "less popular" and another part isn't. As you said, some women join for friendship, leadership, etc. and the number and perceived quality of the mixers isn't a big deal to them. Then there are other women who feel the snubs acutely. It can make it challenging within the chapter itself.

Just my two cents.
