One of the reasons that Panhellenic sets quota is to prevent the larger houses from completely dominating Rush. It allows the smaller houses on campus, who maybe haven't been around as long and/or had the chance to build their reputation up as much, to have a better shot at picking up quality girls.
If you had no set quota, then the smaller houses may die out and make the Greek system smaller on campus. In addition, the larger houses would potentially become too large. Just imagine if everyone going through Rush wanted to be an XYZ because they supposedly have the "best rep" on campus. With no quota, XYZ could accept as many girls as it wanted. Could you imagine girls trying to get to know more than 200 women in their chapter?  It would be impossible to really bond with such a large group, and it would be VERY difficult to plan activities with such a large number.
This is just the tip of the iceberg concerning the need for quota, but I hope it helps you to understand Panhellenic's motives a little better.

I dont buy the reasons for quota. Fraternities don't have quotas and you dont see one fraternity taking over and the small groups dying out. It is actually the opposite. On most campuses there are twice as many fraternities as sororities.
