We're a smaller chapter on this campus, and from what I heard the same thing happened last year as far as invites. They were super-selective (this was when I went through, not to be egotistical) and even though the pledge class was a great one, they were 12 short of quota, and had they been just a little less selective, they would've easily met quota. But it made the other sororities notice. Especially since a lot of my pledge class preffed one of the larger sororities and still went DG. I know I personally want to make sure that the girl sitting next to me in chapter meetings is "DG quality" and I would be insulted if we just started taking anyone just so we met quota. There's a point where the numbers will come if the quality's there, and there's a point where the quality will be there if the numbers are... but there's also an equilibrium point as well.
