For example if quota was 50 and 30 pnms were cut from all the houses before bid day then wouldn't many of the houses not meet quota?

First of all, rarely are 30 women cut from all houses at any school. 30 women may DROP out because they don't like what houses have asked them back for the remaining parties, but they aren't released from recruitment.
When we say that quota is the number of PNMs on PREF DAY divided by the number of chapters, it is a gross oversimplification. We don't all get together and evenly divvy up the PNMs and make sure everyone gets their 42 1/3 new members. Remember that some chapters have invited back many of the same girls. Some of the PNMs have up to 3 chapters for prefs; some have only one chapter for prefs. Some chapters have just enough girls at their pref parties to fill their spots and others have a ton left over that wouldn't get a bid if we didn't offer them quota addition spots. Quota ranges allows us to make sure that as many chapters as possible meet quota while as many PNMs as possible get a bid.
