And it can actually *help* a struggling chapter if it slows down the growth of the other chapters by reducing quota.
E.g. four chapters, 100 PNM's, quota = 25, WRC gets 10 and has to COB 15 to catch up.
five chapters, 100 PNM's, quota = 20, WRC gets 10 and only has to COB 10 to catch up.
That's a vastly simplified example, obviously, but for chapters that don't do well in formal recruitment, it can be beneficial for quota to be smaller, as usually happens when another chapter is brought on.
Also, if the WRC doesn't have enough members to match 1-to-1 with PNM's, adding another chapter will shrink each PNM group and help with that as well.
