My question is around how often this actually happens in practice. This relies on two assumptions, the truth of which probably varies wildly from campus to campus:
1) The SRC actually goes out and COBs. I know most groups want their chapters at total, but a second pledge class takes time and resources to pull off. Is a 200-member chapter that has no problem filling its house really going out to grab 5 more women when total is raised to 205?
2) The SRC and WRC are pulling from the same pool. I guess if there are a lot of women who are interested in COB, and notify the GL office, which forwards them along to the chapters, this is a problem. But if the chapters are COBing their friends and campus acquaintances, the PNM's are not looking at and comparing multiple chapters.
