So, if a chapter made quota and had 154 members after recruitment, they could pick up an additional 26 members through COB. Gives the smaller chapters a chance to catch up to the larger chapters in size....

You are making my point. They adjust total to avg chapter size and then COB to that, which happens to be avg chapter size. As DeltaBetaBaby understood, total can be whatever Panhellenic wants it to be, so set it where you want the COB limit and use the terminology correctly.
