Not JUST money (although especially if you have a house, that's important) - since NPC sororities are limited by quota each formal recruitment, they want members who will be able to contribute on EVERY front for as long as possible. Being at or above total makes it much easier on each member - I belonged to a smaller chapter, and it meant that everyone had to do more than would have been necessary if we were larger.
To clarify for the non-NPC brethren - if chapter total is 50, and quota is 10, even if a chapter is at 50 they can pledge quota - so they would be at 60. If every sorority but one is able to be at or above total, the one that is below will not only have to work harder to function, but will be at a disadvantage during recruitment. When pnms walk in the room, and one group is 20 - 30 members smaller, it is hard for them to think beyond "What's wrong with the smaller group?". So the longer you can count on a sister being active, the better for the chapter. HTH.
