I think with the new release figure method (RFM) we will get closer to getting all PNM's their first choice. We used it last year and I think of the almost 185 +/- who received bids, only 9 got their second choice. I thought this was great.
As for the chapter side, the RFM is supposed to do the same thing. It won't be such a big deal to get your first list b/c your entire bid list will be shorter overall. My understanding is that it will be the norm for more chapters to go further down on their bid lists than before.
Hopefully all of this with the new RFM will make for less crying on each side of the recruitment fence. I know you couldn't have paid me to be a Rho Chi and have to break that many hearts.
