In the formal rush process, you do not have complete control over how many women recieve bids to your chapter. If you extend fewer bids than quota, and they are not all accepted, you shoot yourself in the foot. On the other hand, if you extend more bids than quota, you can't retract them just because too many girls accept.
For example...
At my school, quota is usually around 50. Approximately 150 women attend pref parties at each chapter, in an ideal situation (50women*3parties=150). My chapter can choose to put all 150 women on its bid list. So, if the first 50 we want do not all accept, it goes to 51, 52, etc. If we cut our list to 45 because we didn't want to take quota, and some of those did not accept, we would end up with fewer than 45.
So, as long as your school uses some kind of computer matching, it is in your chapter's best interest to put as many women as possible on the bid list.
