My School is Doing Away With Formal & Quota

This sounds almost exactly like we did spring informal on our campus. We still had formal rush in the fall though. The only difference is that the sororities still had to invite PNMs to the later rounds, but the PNMs could choose on their own which parties to attend. It actually worked pretty well but you do have to worry more about girls refusing to visit all the chapters. My campus addressed this by giving each PNM a "passport" that you got stamped at each house you visited. They didn't require you to visit all the houses after the first round, but it was basically an incentive system - if you completely filled your "passport" with stamps you were entered into a drawing for a prize of some sort. (usually gift certificates.) Bribery works wonders.
And the way we did it, a chapter could not extend more bids than they had slots and the PNM got to see every chapter that offered her a bid.
