This allows the smaller chapters the chance to grow to a size more in line with the others on campus. Otherwise, they would only be allowed to pledge quota and would never have a mechanism in place to grow to met the size of the others.

I understand that. (I presume you were responding to my point). But since no one ever reached total, and at the time we didn't worry about all the chapters being the same size, or quotas, total was simply an abstract concept that had somehow been set. I'd bet 90% of my chapter sisters couldn't have told you what it was or what it meant. I wouldn't either, if not for reading here on GC.
