What a nightmare to reset total each semester!

This is recommended now for campuses using RFM.

Oh, I thought it was once a year after formal recruitment. My mistake.

I don't want to split hairs with anyone but I wanted to clarify that this is a two-tier total situation that is reserved for deferred recruitment campuses only. It Is not really a nightmare because when a CPH passes the two-tier model they typically stipulate "fall total will be set to X (usually average chapter size) at Y week of school" etc, then we reset again using the NPC recommended methods after formal recruitment.

When it was first discussed at NPC I didn't see the value, but this option is very helpful in achieving parity on a deferred campus.

Yes, at Tulane total is set twice a year to average chapter size - once after recruitment and once in the fall. The CPC does not vote each time - this is set in their by-laws which are voted on each year - not each semester. It does help to achieve parity but because an average is used about half of the chapters can offer a few COB each semester if they choose to. Sorry if I offended anyone but I thought the actual numbers at Tulane might be interesting to some.
