Maybe I'm misunderstanding things here, but isn't the whole intent of the new release figures to ensure that chapters are appropriately releasing throughout recruitment? As KDMafia said, "The early release figures helped girls look at other sororities seriously instead of the top one or two. USually this struggling chapter was the one girls went to just to have a full pref card but usually SIPed. This time, with a more realistic outlook they gave the chapter a chance and saw what a great group of girls it was!" THAT'S why these new procedures are being implemented. Too many chapters string the PNMs along throughout the week, just to do a global cut late in the process. It's not fair to the PNMs and it's not fair to the other chapters on campus.

hannahgirl, you may want to ask the Greek Adviser after recruitment about the possible breakdown in communication concerning the new release figure implementation on your campus. It's too late to do much now, but you may be able to impact better and more positive communications in the future.
