Generally speaking, each IFC chapter usually has a specific target number (or range) in mind regarding new members. These numbers are self imposed/selected and not mandated by the IFC.
For example, a chapter may need twenty new members to meet it's financial obligations over the course of the next four to five years.. Thus, twenty would be the "minimum" target number. Most chapters will continue to bid over that number if there are men that they (the chapter) feels are worthy of a bid.
