So, if XX chapter had pledged their max upperclassmen, they'd have been exactly at total and unable to COB. But, since they purposefully over-released, they're not at total.
* If this continues, then chapters will begin to 'opt out' of taking their quota of upperclassmen so that they can just go pick up more freshmen (who will be around for 4 yrs) immediately after fall recruitment is over. That's not fair or keeping with the stated intention of upperclassman quota in the first place.
* Having an upperclassman quota increases chapter total...and there are not 2 pools for total (one freshman and one upperclassman). So, we either need to do 2 totals per chapter or just lump everyone into the same pile during formal recruitment. Because, what's happening now is really negating the stated purpose of using an upperclassman quota during formal recruitment. If they're counted in the chapter numbers which are used to decide total each year, then they're not "Freebies." The only way they'd be freebies is if they didn't count in the number which is referred to as "chapter total."
Hope maybe I explained it better that time?

It sounds like total may be a little high for campus then, or that this chapter is a bit low over all. Are most chapters under total after reaching quota?
Drop total by Y and you negate this.
ETA: Dammit, just a bit slow. But that confirms what I was thinking.
