Men and women are very different in that regard. Men are combative; women are cooperative. We're generally not interested in a more level playing field as you say. We want to win and toward that end we'd like the field to be slanted as much our way as possible.

...if that's your philosophy, then what is wrong with the established fraternities being in control of IFC and slanting the field to their direction. Just doesn't make any sense.
Anyway, I can see some problems with it. I don't like the idea of a cap, however if one fraternity was drawing all potentials at the cost of closing down every other fraternity it would be a bad situation for everyone. Who wants to be on a campus with only one fratnerity...given, it's unlikely, but there is a reason for why there was a cap.
Personally, when I see pledge classes of even 45 guys I wonder what kind of brotherhood they have. If you have pledge classes that size consistently there is no way you will get to know each other. Hell, you might not even know each other's names. Then comes cliches and all kinds of other problems that will kill a fraternity as fast as it grew to that size.
