I wanted to add: I can only speak about my own experiences with my own GLO, of course. But my impression has been that AXD at least is less focused on being at total than being at the same size as the other chapters on campus. At some places this is total or over, but at other schools it's far less (or there is no total).
And even then, it's not like they boot a chapter that's one person smaller than the rest. If say ceiling is 50, they're not going to get too excited if you have, say, 30. The ELC might say, "You should rush," but it's more advice than a mandate. Only once you get down past 50% of average campus size do they start to worry about the chapter. <disclaimer, this is my experience and not in any sense a quote from a national policy manual!>
So maybe that affects my outlook. Certainly if nationals demanded that every chapter be 90% the size of total or they were automatically closed, I'd feel that they were unduly obsessed with total.
