Quota keeps the sororities more equal. If all sororities could take everyone they wanted to who was interested, it would quickly cause a very uneven balance. The "less desirable" groups start to die off. Those who have seen it happen, know that when the weakest link finally breaks, it leaves a new weakest link, and the cycle starts over. Eventually, even the "desirable" groups start to decline, as there are less total Greeks to do PR. It's better to keep a quota system, and keep things semi-equal. Otherwise you would end up with a dynamic Greek system, which is not to the benefit of the campus. Better to keep however many sororities it takes to fill the campus, and not have groups constantly coming and going.
