As for Clemson's recruitment, quota is generally in the high 40's to high 50's, depending on the number of PNM's.
As far as USC's ZTA chapter goes, your friend must be referring to the size of the entire chapter. Both Clemson and USC have ZTA chapters over 170 members. The largest pledge class USC has ever had was this year, to my knowledge, with just around 70 new members. Clemson's ZTA new member class this year had 56 girls.
With ten chapters and such big new member classes, there are lots of ZTA's in this state!

The largest pledge class at USC this year was 70, which was Chi Omega. I THINK quota was 60, but I'm not absolutely positive. I think ZTA took 65, and their chapter size is probably over 200 at this point. I'm not really sure that anyone knows for sure at this point, since people drop and stuff, but I think ZTA has the biggest chapter right now. Last I heard, it was either ZTA or KD, with ADPi not far behind. I can check with one of my ZTA friends to verify this info.
Everyone likes to compare USC and Clemson, since we're the two largest schools in South Carolina, but in terms of greek life, it's a LOT different right now. We have 8 sorority chapters and Clemson has 10. USC's total is 100 and Clemson's is 130. While Clemson is slightly smaller than USC, their greek life percentage is much higher. They set quota usually around 50, but they don't allow quota plus to the extent that USC does (technically, no chapter should take more than 3 over quota, but we won't go into that...) Clemson has a VERY good greek system, and I'm glad that you've decided to rush there. Good luck during recruitment, even though you picked the wrong school.
Go COCKS!
