Actually, it probably has more to do with trying to place the girls. Often the groups receiving additions are already some of the bigger groups.
My impression is that when a group gets a bunch of quota additions beyond one or two it may be because they were smaller to being with than the other groups that the QA girls preffed.
The groups get to pledge more than quota because after regular bid matching some PNMs (rushees) who listed all the groups that they preffed on the bid card did not match to any group through regular bid matching. So panhellenic looks at the groups the girls listed, and sometimes they match by the girl's preference and at other schools, I think they do it by group size so the girls are matched to the smallest group they have listed.
ETA: it doesn't necessarily mean that every girl gets matched. Usually there is a cap on the number of QAs.
