I would say no. The top groups will always have women lining up to join them. It basically lets women who aren't going to go "popular chapter XYZ" know they hey, they're NOT going to. They can either drop out of recruitment (thus lowering quota and giving smaller groups a better chance of making quota, because these same women are like to attend "popular chapter XYZ" and "less popular ABC" and single intentional preference XYZ) or give better considersation to group ABC and not be surprised on Bid Day.
From my experience, this is very helpful because if chapters do not follow release figures, a top chapter can invite maybe even up to three times quota to their preference party. That's almost 2x quota women that are probably going to be at least a little disappointed on Bid Day. Cross cutting is higher, single intentional preference is higher, etc.
