If you're following RFM, you adjust total to match chapter average after every rush, which means (duh) some chapters will be above, and some will be below. Also, I think it's common for systems to increase total just before a colony comes on, to give the chapters a last opportunity to pick up girls they weren't able to take during formal. I'm not a believer in this method - if you have need for a colony it's because you don't want total to increase - but from reading GC over the years, it seems the common process.
