Just got back from my first night. I heard that 906 women showed up for recruitment, which is about 100 more than last year. PSU definitely does use RFM, and that can account for the historically stronger recruiting groups making their cuts early and the women dropping out. Last year for example, about 800 started the process and about 400 were matched. Only around 10 PNMs are ever released entirely, and that's a high estimate. All the others drop out. It's gotten better for sure, but it's still a hard system to be a part of.
In other news, I love the women I've met so far. I love recruitment and I'm hoping for 9 other good days. It is a puddle here but luckily I don't have to change locations at all during the night! Anyway, I'll keep ya'll updated as best I can. Best of luck to all the chapters and PNMs involved.
