I'm sure NPC can provide you all kinds of backup on the success of RFM in similar size/demographic schools. But there would probably be some ugliness for a year or two until the rushees understand the process and don't drop when their favorite cuts them. But if you fully follow RFM, including modifying chapter total at the end of formal rush every year, it would help, not hurt the small chapters. Rushing to a random number is not the most effective way to rush and puts too much pressure for numbers on an off year and too many cuts on strong years.

The question I see having to be addressed in your special circumstance is what do you do with your local? They may not want to be tied to the rules of RFM and you can't really make them, and you don't want a girl to have to list the local in order to fully maximize her options. Maybe you could suggest RFM guidelines to them, and if a girl SIPs instead of listing the local, she's not penalized against QAs. In any case, I think it can be worked out and should be for the long term strength of all of the chapters on campus.
