This is how pnms end up "dropping through the cracks" as it seems to get called on gc.

Isn't that why RFM has the "SR" chapters cutting first round, so people do NOT drop through the cracks? Because they should be returning to the lower ranked chapters on their list (since PNMs don't cut, just rank) as they're cut by "SR" chapters. RFM is supposed to minimize the "accidental" complete cut. But it doesn't stop the intentional complete cut.
ETA:This also doesn't take into consideration girls who drop out because they don't get picked by their top choice(s).

All the rallying in the world or forgetting about "tiers" doesn't change the fact that, for example, comparable housing for a chapter at UA costs $x million dollars.

Right, but it might be time to start chapters without housing. Crazy? Maybe. But I'd hope it's at least considered.
In short I'm saying solving the problems 'caused' by RFM are really more systematic issues. Quota was going to become an issue at large schools with high start up costs no matter what because the other option was cutting 50% or more of PNMs leading to higher anti-Greek opinion and a social stratification of Greek Life that's pretty undesirable and likely unsustainable in the long term.
