So that brings me to this question (because I really don't have an answer)....Are we starting to see the "flaws" in RFM? Thoughts?

Was this past the point when women get released for grades? If not, I'm thinking maybe it would be a good idea for that Panhel's minimum grade requirement to be more in line with the chapter policies (i.e. don't let women with a 2.2 rush when the minimum for every chapter is a 3.0).
Obviously one of the flaws is going to be the intangibility of why people get cut. On one hand a chapter should never be forced to invite women who don't meet grade requirements, who have serious personal problems with members...on the other, you can say "they don't meet our requirements" and also assert that you don't have to tell why, because that's private MS information, whether that's the truth or not. I'm more inclined to say if a chapter wants to cut their pref party list down to one member over quota, even if it is for spectacularly lame reasons, that's their prerogative. They're the ones who have to hash it out with their alumnae or national poobahs or whoever...Panhel is blameless. I'd rather see a chapter cut too harshly instead of giving women false hope (whether they're doing it themselves or RFM is making them do it).
