I know that this thread's probably somewhere else, but I'm going to respond on this one, anyway...

First of all, if the number's are 2, 19, and 20 then something's wrong. Quota should be 41 divided by 3, which is just a little over 10 (sorry, I don't feel like doing the math).

There are NPC regulations concerning quota plus. These regulations say that you are allowed to take 5% over quota when quota plus is allowed. There are some schools (such as mine) that do not follow this regulation. So that where quota is 60, the max number of girls that should be alloweed is 63, but one chapter took 69. The year I went through, quota was 50, so that the max number of girls is 53, but one sorority took 65. This is so that all of the girls are placed into sororities and "guaranteed a bid" as long as they get invited back to pref night. They are also guaranteed a bid from one of the two sororities that they preffed, which is how that one sorority could take 65.

At your school, assuming that they're doing things "by the book" you should be allowed to take one or two over quota. This is perfectly fine, because that's only taking one or two from another sorority. But you should NEVER get the numbers 2, 19, and 20 if quota was 18. That confuses me a bit. Maybe you can clarify?
