I know big vs small chapters have been debated till the end of time on here, but I see perks and downside to both. RFM and quotas have certainly been adjusted according to how big your school is.
My school had a quota of 11 as of last recruitment, and the chapter size is about 50. I do love the intimacy of small chapters and thought "how can you do that in a PC size of 140 like at Alabama, etc." but I realized that it's more in finding your own group within that massive pledge class that leads to the great relationships seen in all greek chapters. You also have to remember that sometimes, the small schools may not have houses that bring in the bigger dues that sorority mansion might with live in fees/meal plans.
