If no one comes to your campus then your chapters continue to get larger. This is what is happening at LSU. That campus has unintentionally priced itself out of range. Too much $$$ + No New Group = Current chapters exploding.
Quota will get smaller if 1) the number of PNM gets smaller (it's pretty much cyclical anyway), 2) Panhellenic intentionally sets quota lower then it should be or 3) Panhellenic holds fast to Chapter Total. Neither 2 nor 3 does any one any favors. In scenario 2, for example, quota should be 40 because of the number of PNMS but Panhellenic says that quota is 35. I have seen scenario 3 in action and it can be devastating. Chapter Total is set at 50 and no chapter can ever be above that number. Going into recruitment groups are at 40, 30 and 30. Quota is set at 20. Group A can take only 10, and the other two can take 20. It only takes one low turn out to put the whole system into disarray where all chapters must constantly COR. ****I know that the Green Book says that any group is allowed to pledge Quota, but it's not like that on at least two campuses.****
As far as limiting the number of girls going through, what criteria would you use besides GPA? If you add that a certain number of credits completed (12 hours) be obtained then you run into a Spring deferment issue. Would that really solve anything? I know that I would never want to be in the Greek Life office fielding those phone calls.

Also, does anyone know what happens if no NPC wants to join our campus? Does that mean quota gets smaller or they put a cap on how many women can go through recruitment? Just wondering.
