This is my understanding of how our chapter at IU does it. The chapter sets a quota prior the beginning of recruitment and turns that number in to Panhellenic. It is generally set by how many open beds there will be in the house. We do not require seniors to live in. Sophs and Juniors live in (because recruitment is deferred, all freshman are initiated toward the end of the Freshman year). In the years IU has reported to me, our quota has been somewhere between 50 and 55.
I don't have a clear understanding of how RFM or bid matching are done within their system. I'm guessing one of the existed programs is doctored to accomodate the varying quotas and chapter totals.
