The largest a house can ever be is immediately after formal recruitment. Every house, regardless of who big it is going into recruitment, can take quota. Every house is potentially eligible for quota additions. So if a house had several great retention years and had relatively few members graduate/transfer/drop, they might go into formal recruitment with more members than other chapters. They can take quota, plus any quota additions allotted to them. After formal recruitment, total is reset to average chapter size. Any chapter over total cannot COB, so long as they made quota. So, let's say ABC has 250 members in early August, and XYZ has 200 members. Quota is 75. Both houses make quota and both get 5 quota additions. ABC how has 330 members, and XYZ has 280. Let's also say that the average size of all houses on campus is 300. ABC is not eligible to COB, and the biggest they can be is 350. XYZ can COB, but only up to total, which is 300. XYZ cannot ever get to be 350, not this year. Make sense?
