However, now that campuses are implementing the new RFM, we are achieving greater parity amongst the chapters - meaning more of them are pledging quota, and the ones who miss are much closer than they have been in the past. QAs are rarely more than a few, 1-4 per chapter in a large system. Exceptions are made based on chapter size - meaning chapters who started out in recruitment with numbers on the lower end might receive more QAs to bring them closer to the average size. And the RFM process funnels PNMs their way anyway. If the chapter is doing a good job recruiting, having meaningful conversations with their PNMs, and showing enthusiasm about the recruitment process, PNMs will find them desirable and want to join.

When you make the suggestion that PNMs who are placed as QAs to strong chapters would have otherwise considered COB with weak chapters, I think that would only encompass a few women. Just as some women want to suicide because they would never want to be part of another group, they would never accept a COB invitation. So then we have to decide what is more important - the smallest chapter COB'ing one or two more people who mismatched; or placing 10 mismatches as QAs in larger chapters and increasing the size of the Greek system and making 10 women happy and excited to be part of it.

I think that what you said is what I am trying to express. But if a girl suicides then she cannot be part of COB -- right??? But really maybe one of the chapters that will be offering COB may have cut her earlier and it could be a better fit for the pnm then #2 or #3 which is why she suicided....so why wouldnt' they allow her to COB? It would still have to be mutual acceptance?
