The new release figures help the smaller chapters right off the bat, but the stronger ones may need several recruitments to understand fully how to achieve the same results with fewer PNMs.
Just a thought.

We had this same problem with the Cal DG chapter the first year we used the new release method! We were shocked to not make quota, but didn't really understand how the new method worked back then. I think all the houses at Berkeley that had higher percent returns were affected, but after a couple of years the percentages moved into a more reasonable range for us. The first year we were only allowed to invite back something like 32 girls with a quota of 25 (only two houses at pref for Berkeley)! That is because they used our previous years' percentage returns when the heavier cuts were not made up front.
