I think you all are seeing the "bed quota" thing as more strict than it actually is. Chapters at this school are HUGE and they get to set their own quota which is typically, roughly a bed quota. Our house is housing 87 women this year. There are 129 members BEFORE recruitment and the chapter usually sets quota at right around 50. So, if we take our quota, we'll have 179 members. Obviously they are not all living in. Seniors live out and the new members don't live in. You're basically replacing your juniors.

It isn't like this is a school with 19 NPC groups and they keep the chapter sizes down to 50 or something.

It's pretty much impossible to know what quota would be in a traditional quota/Total system. It may not be much different because you will still have women dropping out when they are cut by their most desired chapter or getting cut from all groups.

Are the numbers comparable for other chapters?

I don't have exact comparative numbers but I believe most of the others are either similar or larger than our chapter.

The most recent number I can find is on the Spring 2009 grade report from the University which says that the average chapter size at that time was 143. It is my understanding that has increased a bit over the past 18 months so that would support that other chapters are of similar sizes.
