If this idea were to pass, a cap would be set somewhere between 160 and 175, and these larger chapters would only be allowed to take as many members as they can and still remain under the limit. I had an understanding that every chapter has a right to take quota every year, regardless of their current size. These larger chapters would be capped at a number that would prevent them from taking quota. At least three sororities will be above total before recruitment begins, and this could involve up to all five of the largest chapters and maybe even six.

First let me say that I am NO EXPERT on rush or NPC rules.
Let's take this proposal another way, in a way that doesn't involve a cap on sorority size. Why don't the really large chapters with members who are concerned about their gigantic size just extend fewer bids than quota allows? Why couldn't this be voluntary?
I understand that a chapter has the RIGHT to take quota, but if these women are complaining that their groups are too large, why would they WANT to take quota? Isn't the large size a problem that they could solve on their own just by not taking so darn many new members? Isn't this an easy way to solve the size problem?
It just doesn't seem right to keep taking tons of new members and then complain about how many members a group has. If you want fewer members, extend bids to fewer people.
Isn't that simple, or are people too caught up in the game of bragging about getting quota?
