There should be "suggested" release figures, but it is customary that all groups follow them. They are figured in the following manner, according to the GreenBook.
(Number of girls still participating in recruitment*number of parties for this stage)/(average % return over the last three years*number of chapters).
% return is considered to be the number of girls who come back/number of girls you invite back. Note that it is based on the number you invite, not the total number of PNM's.
For example, let's say that all PNM's visit 20 chapters, then narrow their selections to ten. In the past three years, 75% of the girls you have invited back have come back. 1000 women are still in recruitment.
Quota would be estimated as 1000/20, or 50 women per chapter. Multiply this by 10 parties, and you get 500 women. This means you want 500 women to visit your chapter this stage to be on pace for quota (you don't want to be too heavy or too light). You know that approximately 75% of the women you invite back will return, so you invite 667 women.
I know this is complicated, but I hope it helps a little.
