Theorectically, it should all eventually even out. Some schools are just now using RFM and it may take a year or two for things to shake out. Basically, it makes the options more realistic for the PNMs by forcing releases earlier. However, the basic premise is to place everyone who signs a bid card. If one group ends up with a seemingly disproportionate number of NMs, then the other groups were not recruiting the women they needed to be and that group had a more focused idea of who they wanted and who wanted them. The new RFM definitely places the onus on the larger chapters to refine their recruitment techniques rather than depend on the fact that they've always gotten quota. 33girl, I don't know what happened on your campus but am sure there were some circumstances at play. With RFM, each PH is to check with their assigned PH alum RFM specialist when they do bid matching so I am sure the outcome was approved.
