This mixed with the fact that total can be changed yearly, could work well.
Unfortutately, I've heard of a lot of campuses which have very high totals compared to the number of girls actually in the houses. If all the houses are at 50% of total, then the situation describe where the big get bigger and the small die could definately occur.
My big beef is that this recruitment strategy doesn't really force the PNMs to keep their options open - they can basically suicide after the first day?

That's exactly my beef too - these PNMs that want the top house will choose to only go to the top house, thus limiting their options. And since the top house is limited to only so many, you'll see a lot of disappointed, bidless girls.
EDIT: Stupid question.
