I was thinking maybe that 36 was the optimal number to match as many women as possible. If the big chapters don't make heavy cuts after the first round, the damage is done. The large chapters will have big preference parties and the small chapters will have small preference parties. Then again, this was still back in the days of hand-matching bids, so I doubt the Panhellenic and chapter recruitment advisors would have done a quota range by hand to figure out how to best match the optimal number of women. I just am scratching my head at why they picked 36.
I don't know if many other schools set quota too high, but I am sure that not using the RFM surely didn't help Pi Phi, AGD, AXiD, and Gamma Phi at Maryland.
