Release figures pilot project

[seraphimsprite]

So the campus I work with is using the new NPC release figures pilot project where the release figures are determined using some computer algorithm based on three years of historical return data and recruitment strength. The way its been explained to me is that the chapters that are better at recruitment cut even more heavily at the beginning (and therefore have smaller parties) to try to "maximize the expectations" of the PNMs and help more chapters reach quota. Some of the girls are pretty worried about it since they've been told their parties are going to be smaller and they're going to have to "rush harder." So I was hoping that I could hear from people who have already been through recruitment using this system, particularly chapters that are "historically stronger" on your campus.

I have a couple of questions:
1) Did it work well on your campus as a whole?
2) Did it work well for your chapter?
3) Did the size of your parties change dramatically?
4) Did quota change from previous years?
5) Did it affect the "quality" of women you got?
6) Anything else you can tell me?

Thanks!
