1-too hard to say, but probably. However, and I'm glad you worded it carefully, weak recruiting chapter doesn't mean bad chapter, closing chapter, weirdos, whatever. Some chapters can never quite figure it out about formal rush, but do great with informal. But that usually doesn't show in the numbers. If they are willing to give you a bid, you should consider it an honor.

2-chapter total doesn't necessarily reflect real life. Total SHOULD be adjusted every year after formal rush by averaging the totals of all the chapters, but some (a lot of) schools don't do it. So they have high quotas, good campus retention and the actual total is much higher than the official number. They could also set chapter total in the fall instead of after formal rush, which would mean it's based only on their sophomores, juniors and seniors. HOWEVER, regardless of how accurate the chapter total number is, the chapters still have to adhere to it where COB applies.
