No, during formal recruitment, every sorority is allowed to take the same number of women. This number is called
quota. There are various methods for determining quota, but usually quota = #of PNMs ranking after preference / # of chapters.
Informal recruitment/COB is for chapters that are not at
total, the maximum allowable chapter size as determined by the Campus Panhellenic. They may give bids until they reach total. If taking quota during formal recruitment does not put a chapter at total, a chapter may give more bids to reach total. A chapter may exceed total during formal recruitment, as every chapter is entitled to quota. A chapter may not exceed total during informal recruitment.
