The reason RFM was put into place was for just ^^^ this reason. The girls would drop the less popular chapters early, get to just before preference and take a HUGE cut, and then attend preference parties and maybe not match anywhere because all the girls are at the same 3 preference parties.

So those top 3 chapters are required to make huge cuts after round 1 and the middle and lower chapters are given a chance to shine to girls who in previous years wouldn't have seen them after round 1. I think this is one of the big reasons behind the meteoric rise in sorority membership - girls are sticking with the program and finding different sororities to love. Even though there are still tiers, at a lot of schools even the least preferred are still making quota, which means the tiers don't mean anything once rush is over.
