It makes more sense to say they want total/ceiling back to where it was and not super duper hella high.

It was the article that referred to quota.

Panhel decided to start the process of adding a new Greek chapter to campus to keep membership size and pledge class quotas manageable, Juarez said. A pledge class quota is the maximum number of bids that a chapter can offer, and quota is determined by dividing the number of women participating in recruitment by the number of sororities. Recent quotas have generally been in the thirties.

"There are currently 11 chapters heading into formal recruitment with the largest (freshman) class Northwestern has ever had," Juarez said. "In previous years we had 12 chapters and a smaller freshman class."

If recruitment goes as projected, at least 400 women will join sororities Winter Quarter, said Erin Huffman, assistant director of Fraternity and Sorority Life.
