Don't know what an alternative method for release figures would be (maybe a new/different formula), but (statistically speaking) you're right about a quota range. Since quota is normally set after one invitational party, but not necessarily the pref party, you could have girls drop either right before or right after pref, which messes up quota. Offering the range during recruitment gives the chapters an idea of what quota might be, and then they can name an exact number after Pref Cards are signed. (I never understood why quota is set before prefs....there's often several girls who make it all the way to prefs and then drop afterwards for a myriad of reasons. Makes sense to base quota on the number of girls signing a Pref Card....)
