First of all, I'm glad to hear they actually do have an RFM specialist. I wasn't even sure if that was the case. When I think about how RFM works, though, I can see why it breaks down when different chapters have differently-sized pledge classes, and further, can change that size from year-to-year.

^^^ All good points. And I would like to add, that chapters may have to make cuts in December before they leave. They may not know who will come back from break for recruitment. Girls drop out and some don't make grades. That would be tricky to figure in as well.
