There is not a preset number of spots and there are very few pnm's who end up released from all houses; they either don't have the best grades or don't rush well, but often do better at COB or a 2nd time in formal recruitment. The overwhelming majority of PNM's who don't get a bid either dropped out of recruitment or decided to SIP after pref (Single Intentional Preference, meaning they only put down one choice on their card when they had two choices). The recruitment process is designed to give the most PNM's possible a bid, so the more PNM's participating means more bids. Quota is not determined until after Pref when all PNM's have signed their MRABA cards. The number of PNM's signing cards divided by the number of sororities = Quota. If you have two pref houses and put them both on your card you are guaranteed a bid to one of them, and if you only have one pref house and put them down you are guaranteed their bid. But, if you have two houses and only put down one (SIP), and then aren't high enough on their bid list to match with them, then you are not getting that bid. This is called Suiciding and you take your chances with it.
