Is this post RFM? If they are large at Auburn, the campus Panhellenic will force a "popular" chapter to make more cuts. The campus Panhellenic rules will trump a "National policy" (thought I really don't think there would be a National policy, unless you are speaking of recruitment pre-release figure method).

With the RFM, the opposite is true. Chapters with high return rates may invite as few as 1.5 x projected quota, because historically, a good amount of the PNMs that they invite put them first. Chapters with lower return rates will have larger parties, 3 x projected quota or even more, because fewer PNMs will rank them, so they need a larger pool to make quota.
In either event, I think it is bad advice to tell your daughter to look at how many girls are at pref, thinking about quota, etc. They should worry about things they CAN control during recruitment week, like making a good impression, having good conversation skills, and being well-groomed.
