They also need reassurance from TPTB that they're not going to get their charter yanked if the "growing pains" include numbers taking a sudden dip into the toilet.

If all the house agree they want to change and move to a true RFM system their numbers would grow, not drop.

The key word there is "all."

And I'm betting there would be members who disliked the change who would self-terminate - even if all the groups did it. As I said, some people just don't want to be in what they consider a big chapter.

What would be the optimum is if IU (and Greek systems everywhere in general) could recognize that some women like bigger chapters, some women like smaller chapters, some women love living in a house, some women would rather eat their own head than live in a house and love the unhoused option - and embrace all those differences without it getting caught up in social strata. Guys seem to do this pretty well, I wish females could too.
