I definitely agree.

At my school, it was actually the "popular" chapters that would make exactly quota (or have fewer QAs) and the "middle" or "lower" chapters that would get the most QAs. This is because the "popular" chapters have to trim their bid lists to the point where it minimizes having a ridiculous number of QAs.

Now, I'll also mention that there's not a huge disparity among chapter size at my school (thanks to proper implementation of the RFM). Suiciding is a HUGE problem, so we don't end up with ridiculous amounts of QAs, which is why we can guarantee a match to a PNM who maximizes her options.

The chapters that don't make quota usually come close and/or COB to reach it. I do have a feeling that 1 or 2 of the 3 chapters that didn't make quota in 2007 when I was a Rho Gamma missed it because they over-released (since chapters are allowed to release more than the suggested number). I say it's only a feeling because I don't have proof; I just know that the chapters in question are considered desirable and I can't think of any other reason why they wouldn't make quota.

The only 3 PNMs who weren't placed with a chapter suicided the largest sorority on campus

And, I contacted someone at our national headquarters who is in charge of chapter numbers, so we'll see....
