Because to be eligible to COB, you are under Total so you can take whoever you want to try to catch up in numbers.

What makes you think they are purposefully underinviting? Without sitting in their membership selection meetings or knowing their membership selection processes, you can't know why they aren't inviting as many upperclassman. Perhaps the upperclassmen don't meet their membership criteria. They aren't required to take just anybody simply because they are below Total. Are separate release figures calculated for upperclassmen?

So it will be their problem when, in 3 years, 37 of their members graduate all at once. Is this affecting your chapter's numbers at all? No. Your chapter is not required to take the quota of upperclassmen either.
