If you are not willing to discuss, and if necessary, clarify and "argue" your advice or statements, you shouldn't post them.
Also, if you will take the time to read some recruitment stories you will see that clueless Recruitment Counselors do in fact exist, and the fact that you are "close" to the VP of Recruitment does not give you the standing or breadth of knowledge that many alumnae here have, based on their years of dedicated service. I will also say that until you are an alumna working on the other side you probably have no idea of everything that is involved. The point should be to give those with questions the most accurate information possible, and not to get your cyber-ego involved.
The way you have described quota makes it sound as though quota always works against pnms. If you are addressing the op, perhaps you may wish to clarify. Certainly it may mean that there are not enough spaces in a particular chapter, but for most campuses quota does mean that there is space for every pnm who is interested in joining - just not perhaps the chapter which is her first choice. Of course, campuses with "bed rush" and those who require everyone to get a bid are a different story.
To the op - there are many informative threads here on GC. No, with a few highly unusual exceptions, you are not guaranteed a bid. Also, you may get a bid but not from your first choice. Your best bet is to read as much as you can here, secure recommendations to all chapters at your school, and do your best during recruitment to put your best foot forward. Don't worry too much about the behind-the-scenes-numbers - you can't do anything about them, and they really don't impact you personally too much unless they mean a chapter you are interested in has to make cuts. Check out recruitment stories for an insider's view. Good luck.
