It really does - I have friends in chapters that were much bigger than mine that got shut down. We were down to 11 last year (average on campus is probably 24 or so?) and we didn't even hear a peep about being shut down for size.
I think there's a lot of pressure for this on the fraternity end though - SigEp HQ expects the chapter to have 50 guys consistently, on a campus where average for guys is maybe 30.
