I'm pretty sure that Pi Phi met the quota which was set for them specifically, and due to the fact that they tend to dominate Rush, that number was lower than what it was for some of the sororities who may be struggling in Rush and need to build membership. Pi Phi may have taken a smaller pledge class, but they didn't "not make quota" in the sense that some people are thinking of.

I sincerely doubt that was the case, as it would be in violation of NPC recruitment policies.
What I imagine happened was that Tech was using the new recruitment figures, which mean that traditionally strong chapters aren't allowed to invite as many members back after the first few rounds of rush. If other chapters made particularly strong showings this year, that could affected Pi Phi.
