Do national offices really get that upset at big schools if a group is 20-30 under total? I'm talking if total is 160 and ABC is at 140 members. I can see nationals getting worried if it's a smaller campus and total is 75 and their local chapter is at 40-50 (where it's more noticeable).
Do people really get that petty with gossip? "OMG, everyone else has 170, but Beta Chi only has 140."

Like Regina and GG said, it's not just that they're UNDER total, but that the other groups are taking quota every formal rush and are OVER total. It wouldn't be a big deal (and most likely no one would notice per campus gossip) if everyone was straight at 161 members.
It sounds as though total needs rethought. Raise it in November or so, give all the groups that need it a chance to bid up to it, and then everyone can go into next fall's formal rush on an even footing.
Believe me, this is not a bad problem for a school to have. Readjustment issues with total are usually the other way around - i.e. the school has a total that hasn't been filled by the majority of the groups since Reagan was in office and everyone has to open bid constantly, but there are one or two groups refusing to vote to lower it, because they do well, or because their HQ thinks they can click their heels and get twice their membership in a semester and doesn't want to cut their possible revenue stream. NPC has been getting a lot more proactive about checking up on this, though (thank God).
