Look, a lot of chapters miss quota by 1 or 2 because of the release figures. When chapters have to cut half of the girls there between rounds, it's hard. You might cut women who really wanted to be in your chapter while keeping ones who ranked you lower. When it comes to pref and quota is 56, the chapters who recruit well/strong (this is as statistical analysis, not a value judgement) may only be able to invite 120 women at preference which doesn't leave them much breathing room when PNMs go to two parties. This is what happens to Alpha Phi, they are only able to invite like 2.25 times quota to pref. If more girls than expected pref the other chapter, then they don't make quota. It has happened to them for the last three years. It doesn't make them a bad chapter, it just makes it harder for them to match to quota without snap bids. It happens to a lot of chapters. A chapter can also miss quota when girls drop out of recruitment after the pref parties or suicide one chapter. If a girl has two chapters one she likes and one she doesn't want, if she gets the feeling that the one she likes isn't interested her and she might get "stuck" in the other chapter, she lists one. Then if she doesn't match with the chapter she likes, the other chapter loses a potential member. The way recruitment works can be confusing if you haven't been exposed to the logistics of how it works. SO there is a lot of room for misunderstanding.
