Quota is not pre-determined. Do a search for RFM (release figures method) and you should find a full explanation. What you have heard is patently rumor and can in no way be true. In short, the computer takes in a list of members in preferential order and a list from all the rushees and their ordered preferences. It does a match using first choices first until every girl has a home. The only girls it won't necessarily match are girls who haven't listed every chapter to which they attended a preference party. If 900 girls went through the preference round and listed every sorority for that round, then 900 girls would have a bid the next day. The problem is some girls (NOT that many) don't get invited all the way through to preference. Some girls drop out of rush for a variety of reasons, including they aren't happy with the outcome, and some go through preference and only write down their favorite chapter. That can drop the number of matched girls considerably. But someone deciding quota needs to be smaller this year isn't part of the equation. At all.
