Like AGDee has said, the way quota is determined, there are enough spots for every PNM as long as she is willing to join any chapter. However, a PNM must attend preference. If the number of women being cross-released (meaning PNMs cut from all chapters, not ones who drop out on their own because they were unhappy with their choices) before preference is high, then extension may be an option. Then again, one must look at the makeup of PNMs being cross-released. If 75% of those cross released are grade risks, then that's why they were cut and there would be no extending.

One must also think about how an established Greek community will treat a new chapter. Many PNMs are looking to join the "best" (read: old, established, traditional) chapter and may not give a new chapter a chance. Because quota would decrease (unless more PNMs sign up) the top chapters would take fewer new members, and recruitment could become more competitive.
