For the most part, another chapter should be added only when all groups are at or very close to total. If the majority of groups are significantly below total, then perhaps total needs to be lowered.

The only exception (and I could see this being a good exception at a small school in particular) is if a niche is not being filled. If there are a lot of women cross-released (but still have a reasonable GPA) or these interest groups have something different to offer (and if they actually have a group wishing to affiliate), such as a Jewish interest group where there are no Jewish sororities on campus (just an example), then why not let them affiliate?

ETA: With that said, most of these women have not been through recruitment, so I am not sure how they know there isn't a place for them.

Total right now is 50, and we discussed lowering it, but just this semester, one organization is up to 48, another 46. Lowering it may be considered within another year as in one semester one org has 20 girls graduating and another 22. Quota is usually never above 13.
