Enforcing release figures definitely helps smaller chapters. There are chapters who like to invite everyone back, even if 50% of them do not have a snowball's chance in hell of getting a bid....they just want to be able to say that they had the most rushees at their party. If there is a woman you KNOW you will not be giving a bid to, you're supposed to cut her loose as soon as possible, so she can weigh her other options realistically. She's a lot more likely to warm up to the possibility of the smaller groups if she is sure that big giant house XYZ really isn't going to bid her.
Incidentally, even if numbers are low, the chapter shouldn't ask back women they don't plan to give a bid. Why waste her time or yours?
