I kind of understand that it helps balance out chapter totals, but I'm not experienced enough with RFM to understand how varying the quota might effect the carry figures.
I've never heard of this before. Does it work? Is it fair to all chapters?

I can't answer all your questions, but I know Arkansas has been doing this for a few years and from what I've heard, it has greatly increased placement rates and lowered the number of PNM's who drop out (which was a BIG issue- not only dropping out of recruitment, but withdrawing from school completely).
The strong recruiting chapters have lower quotas and therefore release a ton of women early in the week, giving those PNM's more rounds to get to know the houses who are interested in them. The weak recruiting chapters have higher quotas which has helped grow their numbers.
I imagine RFM works the same (marrying return rates with expected quota range), except that houses are working towards different quotas.
