I have seen in years past where quota additions have gone to houses that easily made quota just to place as many girls as possible--meaning yes, the girl was one or two below cutoff (a handful, not 20). Which explains if quota was 50 and the class was 52-ish. My experience is that QAs are a big mixture of girls who wanted/ were willing to go to that sorority after pref, or decided to take a bid over nothing or wanted it all along. It's something panhellenic uses to make happy PNMs and happy chapters. This also explains why some chapters take a lot more girls on pref or skit than other chapters that are already close to chapter total.
