It can be confusing. It SHOULD work that chapter total is the average of every chapter's total membership after formal rush every year, so that approximately half of the chapters will be over total and half will be under. At a very well balanced school, that would mean total is something like 150 (random #, not a perfect chapter size, cuz that doesn't exist) and the range would be from 145 to 155 but most of the chapters are within 1 or 2 of 150. Then they're doing COB but nothing extensive.
But change is hard and some schools just can't see changing total from "what it's always been" as though one number is the right number for total, regardless of real life. Part of RFM is to adjust the numbers to accommodate THIS YEAR. And that's IMO a big part of why there has been so much growth. And when a system goes through a down period, total will adjust again, which should keep chapters from having to close just because interest has waned.
