I guess I just don't understand quota additions when one of the groups has a NM class of less than half of all the others.

Again, I'm just going on math and what could theoretically happen. Maybe I just need someone to explain how/why other groups can take as many as 63 (no offense, GPhiB) and one of the groups gets only 23.

Can anyone help explain this to me?
It is possible that AXiD underinvited - it happens, even against recommendations. It happened a few years ago to a huge chapter here at FSU. They underinvited, were warned and they still cut heavily, much lower than they needed to based on release figures. As a result, they did not make quota and had to COB that fall, something they've not had to do in decades.

Without being on the campus, or a member of that Fraternity, none of us can guess as to the real reason.

For comparison, this is the list from 2005 recruitment. AXiD was also under quota there as well:

AChiO 62
ADPi 62
AGD 62
AOII 62
AXiD 27
ChiO 62
Tri Delt 62
DG 62
DZ 62
GPhiB 59
KD 61
KKG 62
Phi Mu 62
Pi Phi 62
SK 62
ZTA 62

Maybe it is something to do with the fact that AXiD has only been on campus 26 years? I don't know - lots of cute girls in the chapter and lots of activities.
