I think chapters do a fantastic job of coping with super large quotas, but they have to negatively affect the sorority experience. In these days of short new member periods, there is no way new members even know the girls in their class prior to initiation. Again, the chapters do a wonderful job of mitigating this, but it is a challenge that could be alleviated if classes were smaller. It is also difficult to find meeting space for the chapter.
I think 66 might be just fine at a huge school with a nice big house providing a common ground. But at some schools 45 might be more imposing than 66 is at another school.
Personally, numbers below about 50 at large, housed chapters make me nervous, because we have seen the ups and downs of Greek life. If numbers dip a bit, you don't want to have to worry about filling the house. But then I think when you get to the 70ish mark, things get pretty tight.
