I don't quite get this statement. The other groups are allowed to open bid up to quota within the designated period after formal rush and up to total any time they want - it would be more of a question of the smaller groups rushing in the off semester (whenever that may be) and they'll get up to total, while the big chapter does nothing because it's already full. Eventually, the largest chapter will graduate out its "excess" of members and everything will be on an even keel.
It's not just about the numbers, it's about taking the pressure off of the smaller groups that they get from their HQs to be at total. HQ does not always understand that total isn't a realistic number for the campus climate at current - they just see the group is not meeting it and don't bother to investigate further. Constant harangues about your "failure" in this area are not good for the group's self esteem and go a long way towards making the members hate rush (and ergo, doing even worse at it).
