The popular chaters ended up with almost all of the "best" pnms to chose from. The other chapters had a considerably smaller pool by preference because many pnms had previously dropped them while being strung along by the popular chapters. Before RFM, were there no rules or guidelines about how many pnms you had to cut each round?
They did have guidelines based on the return percentages over the prior 3 years. However, unless you had a Greek Adviser who was strong enough to hold to that, everyone pretty much fudged the numbers somewhat. I worked with a lot of chapters in the south (SEC and non-SEC) in the 80's and 90's and that was my experience.
