So, by my understanding this house can take 30 during formal rush and in this situation go 10 over total.
Again, by my understanding, a chapter can take total plus acertain percentage over quota. But since this chapter did not make quota and is still below total they should be allowed to cob up to quota.
My question is: if during formal rush chapters may take quota plus, can a chapter which cob's to get quota take quota plus.
So, this chapter can COB and get the 30 new members(to fill the new member class), but can they take 30 plus? Like other chapters would have been able to do if they got a full pledge class during formal?

Quota and total are two different things.
Quota only refers to the maximum amount of women chapters can give bids to during a structured recruitment process.
Total is the maximum chapter size at a particular school.
So, Yes, a chapter can exceed Total during the structured recruitment process by taking quota or quota plus.
But where COR is concerned, since each chapter does it on its own, there is usually no set quota limit. Each chapter can give as many bids as they want through COR
until they reach
Total at their campus. There is no "quota plus" for COR.*
So at Dude U, there are four chapters.
Total is 50.
Quota through structured recruitment is 15.
Chapter ABC had 40 members before recruitment and made quota, thereby putting them above total (50) with 55 members. They are not eligible for COR because they are now above total.
Chapter DEF had 35 members before recruitment and gave bids to 15 girls, thereby bringing their chapter up to 50 girls. They are not eligible for COR because they are now just at total.
Chapter GHI had 25 members before recruitment and pledged quota of 15. They are eligible to COR up to 10 women to fill the spots to bring them up to total.
Chapter JKL had 10 members before recruitment and pledged 10 women. They are are eligible to COR 30 women if they want, to bring them up to total.
Does that help?
* This is my understanding through my experiences as both an undergrad and an adviser at two different schools with a fall formal recruitment process.
