This is your first rush. I think your goal should be to have as well an organized, publicized rush as possible. That's a big enough job all by itself!
ASA sets "Targets" that are different from the campus Quota for many reasons. Sometimes the "Target" is to take Quota from Rush, and then COB up to Campus Total. Sometimes the "Target" is the amount needed to make dues competitive. Sometimes "Target" for a chapter on a campus that's a struggling group is less than Quota, because it's not realistic to expect them to take Quota, and by pushing them to do so, they're accepting sub-par women back, when they really shouldn't. Etc...

It might sound silly to set Quota for a group who's not really "competing" against other groups, but just saying "We'll take however many quality women walk through the door" can be setting yourself up to NOT work hard at PR and just generally be lazy about recruitment of new members.
