Lowering total: Thoughts?

I know this is campus-specific, Panhellenic decision, but just to get some discussion going, I'm curious to hear your thoughts about when lowering total should be considered. For example, I go to a campus with four sororities, and only one chapter (the same chapter for 1.5 years, very recently) has reached total in the past eight years. The three other chapters are at about 67%-75% of total pretty consistently. I know thoughts on this are varied, but I'm almost wondering if it wouldn't be better to lower total to remove some of constant pressure of COBing, especially as a lot of this seems to fall to new members or younger active members, as they still live in the dorms, take a lot of lower-division classes, etc. I know the sudden pressure to recruit can be overwelhming, and I think it could be a "turn-off" for some new members

Thoughts?
