Wouldn't you rather have a chapter of your GLO be shut down than be known as the worst chapter on campus that never meets quota, has a bad reputation, etc? (that question is obviously for sorority women)

I think it's a waste of time, money, and effort when these kind of chapters just linger on and on. It also isn't fair to the handful of individuals in a chapter like that who continuously strive to improve their chapter only to make little or no changes.
Many times, the women in those chapters DO NOT CARE that they're the smallest or don't have the biggest house or don't have the most mixers. They pledged for different reasons. It's their national HQ or the campus that is telling them that they suck. And if you hear that enough (and buy into it) it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

It amuses me that guys, who don't have quota or total or have to follow it, would go along with the "doesn't meet quota/total = bad chapter" fallacy.

Lots of chapters don't have big houses to maintain and there is no fucking reason to force them to be huge.

I could care less if a chapter is seen as "worst" on campus if the women are having a fun experience. I was going to add something else but I think I'll keep my mouth shut.
