Lame question here, yet kind of obvious for the casual observer...

Why did they raise total, knowing that there chapters below it on top of bringing back Alpha Chi Omega?
Wouldn't it make more sense to keep total where it is with Alpha Chi Omega coming back on? Or is there a large gap between those at the new total and those below it?

How many are below it?

This all just seems wrong; raise total and bring on a colony. Chapters will be competing for members like never before. For those chapters that are below and those who are over, it will/could deepen the tiers at Arizona.

I heard about this at Arizona before and I just don't like it. I hope that I am wrong but Arizona has done similar stuff like this before with disastrous consequences.

The only benefit that I can see is that it will give more women an opportunity to be involved, especially those who participated in Fall recruitment with its heavy cuts.
