Just saying "xxx is too big of a class" is arbitrary. Also, how many from that class are still there senior year? Once again it seems the focus is on quota and total during rush and retention gets swept under the rug. Kind of like the girls who spend months planning for the wedding but can't be bothered to spend 2.5 seconds figuring out a household budget or discussing what religion the kids will be...the things of the actual marriage.

I think part of the issue at Arkansas was the sudden increase in interest. The chapters had been a healthy size, but not huge, for 15 years and then BAM all of the sudden they were dealing with massive quotas. The chapters hated that from the start but it was a slow process to open for extension due to concerns about housing and the administration's slowness to accept the issue as a real need. By the time they finally opened, the chapters were at ridiculous sizes.
