This may seem odd too, but I'm not sure the benefit to smaller chapters is that great by limiting the number of rushers.
Sure, the smaller chapters don't appear smaller right off the bat, but you might have a better chance competing with a whole cross section of a chapter than with just the top 50 (or whatever) most socially gifted.
From a pure pragmatic standpoint though, I think you'd have to limit numbers just so not to overwhelm the PNMs. I'm assuming that the PNMs will be broken into groups, and with only 150-200 (or whatever) and 17 groups that you could go to, you don't need 4 member to 1 PNM ratio.
My guess is that it's to really make people do an informal recruitment event rather than just recycle parties from formal.
