1) GA's have a lot of leeway in placing QA's, and to some degree, they should take parity into mind. So, QA's may have gone to GHI and XYZ, even if they had listed those chapters behind ABC and DEF on their bid cards.
2) If a chapter has historically done very well, they get few invites for pref. Let's say that quota is estimated at 50, and for the last three years, every girl attending prefs at ABC put them first on their bid card. ABC may only get to invite just over 50 girls to pref. This is one of the big changes that RFM made: looking at how chapters were ultimately ranked on bid cards to help determine pref invites. ABC just barely taking quota doesn't mean that they didn't recruit as well as other chapters, it could just mean that they didn't recruit as well as in previous years.
