If this is something the school wants to do, I think they can change the rules to whatever they want. I could see doing this, as long as all the chapters are interested. If the numbers get to be too crazy, then maybe it's time to expand. You could also do a formal in January and a structured informal in the fall, or vice versa. But I don't think there's a rule anywhere that says you can only have quota and/or total modified just once a year. However, I would strongly suggest keeping a tight rein on total, modifying it after EACH formal recruitment period so that the chapters don't end up having to COB year round in order to keep up with the strongest recruiting chapters. And if at your campus your chapters haven't achieved parity, I wouldn't suggest this because if you've got one chapter who is getting half of quota every time and the strongest chapter is getting quota+ every time, you're going to end up losing one or more chapters, and nobody wants that.

Oh, and if you don't have an upper classman quota, now would be the time to do that. Then the girls who are new'ish to the school but are sophomores aren't going to be penalized.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you set total wherever you want? So after formal, the average chapter size is 100, but everyone wants to do a spring rush, so make total 110. That allows for the strongest chapters to take 2 or 3 girls and the weakest chapters to take 15 or 20, presuming that nobody is terribly far off of chapter total.
