You need enough members to pay your bills (including filling and supporting a house if you have one) and be able to spread the work out enough that nobody gets totally burned out from trying to do everything. It gets a little crazy when every member (or all but 1 or 2) have an office and there aren't enough people to have committees to spread the work around. Keep in mind that your International org. also needs enough money to keep things running on their end, provide travelling consultants, etc.
I am aware of some Panhellenics who have Total set WAY too high for their campus. Realistically, you should be able to add up quota from the last four years and Total should be close to that (maybe a little lower because not all members stick around for four years and not all chapters recruit only freshmen). If quota has been 6 or 7 every year, then Total shouldn't be 45 or 50!
