Little Chapter, Big Recruitment: Spring 2009

[AZ-AlphaXi]

Normally, a chapter can always pledge quota even if that takes the chapter above (even way above) total.

so if quota is 60 and a chapter is 10 below total at formal recruitment time then they will, if they take quota, be 50 members above total.

After all these threads, I thought I understood. I'm sure y'all are tired of answering questions like these, buuuut, I gotta ask. So, total isn't a cap? Is it the number that all chapters should be expected to be at membership-wise. So, if a chapter is consistently below total, it's struggling and if all chapters keep going above total, it might be time to expand?

Exactly right!

ETA: Total can be used as a cap for chapters participating in informal recruitment - chapters below total cannot COB past total. However, formal recruitment is a whole different animal, and chapters surpass total in formal recruitment all the time.
