(Inter)Nationals have advisors for every department of sorority life and you might not necessarily know who to go to. Also like has been mentioned, the President would know if they are over total and what not.

I would like to reiterate this statement. Too often I see/hear folks throw out "Just call HQ". Of course it depends on the situation, but for most stuff that's jumping like 4 levels in the chain of command (for lack of a better phrase). This is one of the purposes of setting up the organizational structures, to address issues and answer questions at a lower/more local level rather than always going straight "to the top". Also bear in mind those who work at HQ may not necessarily be an expert in all areas of sorority life with the specific policies and rules. They would have to investigate.
One should start with the specific Exec officer who is in charge of this area. If she cannot find this info, then go to the advisor in charge of this area. Next step up the ladder would be an I/nat'l officer such as the equivalent of (for our org) a province director/president. These IO's oversee several chapters in an area. The next or possibly instead of that would be the IO in charge of that area of sorority life. Typically these IO's oversee a large geographical area of chapters with a specific focus such as membership education, recruitment, housing, finance, etc. These IO's should be the experts regarding policies, rules and implementation in this particular area.
