Think about what you just proposed...Let's say 400 pnms sign up...200 go to pref parties (4 NPCs) so quota is 50. Ahhh...too bad...each group can only pledge up to total.
Would something like this work? Bid to total and then anything above it would factored into the quota?

For example, 4 chapters with house total at 100.

Start of formal recruitment

ABC: 70 returning members
DEF: 75 returning members
TUV: 80 returning members
XYZ: 85 returning members

The quota needed to get each chapter to total would be as follows.

ABC: 30
DEF: 25
TUV: 20
XYZ: 15

100 PNMs make it to the preference round. Now in theory, since all four chapters could only bid a total number of 90 women, this would mean 10 women would not receive a bid. However, something similar to "quota additions" would be factored into each chapter's quota. Take the remaining 10 PNMs and divide it by the 4 chapters. That would be 2.5. Round down to 2 and allow "quota additions" for the remaining two PNMs.

Thus the revised quota for each chapter would be as follows.

ABC: 32 (30 brings the chapter to total)
DEF: 27 (25 brings the chapter to total)
TUV: 22 (20 brings the chapter to total)
XYZ: 17 (15 brings the chapter to total)
