At one time, Pitt had a strange quota system. Total was something (60? I don't know), and each sorority had to "register" the number of seniors they had at the beginning of the school year. Then, Panhel would tell them how many they could pledge. It was something like Total minus Seniors equals Quota. So, (and I'm using imaginary numbers, because I don't have this down pat) if Total was 60 and ABC had 15 seniors and 50 sisters, then they could pledge only the 15. If Total was 60 and ABC had 15 seniors and 20 sisters, their Quota was 40+15 or 55.

Obviously, it didn't make a lot of sense, since they changed systems a long time ago!
