It's not just about the numbers, it's about taking the pressure off of the smaller groups that they get from their HQs to be at total. HQ does not always understand that total isn't a realistic number for the campus climate at current - they just see the group is not meeting it and don't bother to investigate further. Constant harangues about your "failure" in this area are not good for the group's self esteem and go a long way towards making the members hate rush (and ergo, doing even worse at it).

It depends on quota vis a vis total and yes, total gaps are a very real concern on many campuses. I can't speak for every HQ, so I can't comment on that part. An example would be where total is 50. Quota is 25, everyone makes quota, but one group has 75 members after recruitment. No one can catch up. They may graduate 20, but so will everyone else.
