You are wrong. Quota( the maximum number of bids a sorority can extend) is not figured until after pref parties. RFM is much more complicated than this, but the simplistic explanation is that if 600 girls attend a pref party and there are a total of 6 sororities on campus, the number of girls attending pref is divided by the number of sororities, so 600 divided by 6 equals 100 girls that can be on each sorority's first bid list. Then the other girls that attended the pref parties are put on the sorority's 2nd bid list, which is made in case one of the girls on the first bid list lists another sorority as her number one choice (this is the only time that the computer will try to match the PNM's first choice). If the PNM chooses the sorority that also has her on their first bid list, then she gets a bid from them. If the PNM makes her first choice, but that sorority fills to quota before her name comes up, then the computer tries to match her with her 2nd choice. If her name comes up before they fill to quota, then she will get a bid from them. If that sorority fills to quota before she matches , then she most likely will become a quota addition to her first choice. So, in a nutshell, quota is the number of PNMs attending pref and signing a bid card (MRABA) divided by the number of sororities-if all PNMs make it to pref and designate their preferred choice(s) on the MRABA, the number of PNMs in that situation will be divided by the number of sororities and that will be quota.
