I think most groups have finally gotten a clue and do something like this, rather than "go from 15 to total/60 in two semesters - just do it." Umm, if they could do that, they'd be flying around on a unicorn with Oprah. I'm not saying that doesn't happen sometimes, but there are usually extenuating circumstances (merger with a local group, block rushing, etc.).

And yeah, there are definitely some places where housing is a determining factor and total is what it is.
