But then I see something like these posts in the NPC recruitment results thread:
At CNU, these were the final numbers
Quota was 25 (I'm pretty sure)
Alpha Phi- 28
Gamma Phi Beta- 29
Alpha Sigma Alpha-29
Zeta Tau Alpha-29
Phi Mu- 30
WTF? How can every chapter take QA? Why isn't quota just 28?
And this:
W&L - Quota = 30
KKG - 24
KD - 30
Pi Phi - 37
Theta - 32
XO - 32
ADPi - 34
I can't help feeling like Kappa is getting kinda screwed, here. Fifteen women were placed as QA's. I know NOTHING about this campus, but are we really saying that of those fifteen women, none of them would be happy in the chapter that didn't make quota?

The problem with your assumption is that by moving the Quota to a lower number you think that Kappa would suddenly make Quota. That is not necessarily true. Quota ranges are used to make the most chapters reach total and the most woman get placed. The woman who were QAs may not have had Kappa on their list for prefs and Kappa may be a top chapter at W&L who miscalculated when releasing women. I've seen several top chapters NOT reach total while "lower tier" chapters make way over so you can't assume anything. I don't know this campus, so I don't know if Kappa is struggling or not.
At CNU, changing Quota to 28 may have actually disrupted how many women were placed because of shifts in the lists. It's hard to look back and understand the reasoning when you can't see how the Quota ranges change the field.
