My campus has adjusted Total every year for the past 3 years. It went up twice, now it's gone down. Every chapter was CORing in the spring for 3-4 members, which takes a lot of time and resources for not much payoff, so a vote was taken to lower Total back down slightly. There have been 3 colonizations in the past 6 years, and the second stacked sorority from the last expansion is coming on next fall. That will probably mess with numbers again. I'm glad they're actively working on it, because it benefits everyone. It's an ongoing process of finding a healthy, but manageable, chapter size that meets the needs of interested PNMs and chapter resources.
