I've had experiences with BOTH PNMS and sororities themselves freaking out over bad recruitment returns. Last year at my Alum they had horrible numbers sign up and bad retention rates. The Greek Director heard a couple girls that dropped out say that they would just go through in the Fall and go where they want (not completely true, but we usually have a pretty successfull fall recruitment. The Director's response, eliminate Fall recruitment, allow COB to total, but also cut total by almost 10 girls.
This hurt certain chapters who graduated a lot of seniors because with total dropped they may be at total but still look smaller than other chapters that did have as many seniors graduate.
My chapter for example lost 17 girls which put them at total but also could hurt them because they had a larger class than others and therefore look smaller now. (Hopefully it doesn't, the first cuts will be made this morning so we'll see the return rates)
