Having a good RFM discussion in the expansion thread. Wanted to bump this. We were talking about whether there were chapters we felt would have not survived in the years pre-RFM.
Yes. I've worked with chapters who pre-RFM would for sure be closed.
Because of the RFM (and their own work too, because the RFM can't MAKE women accept your invite), some chapters got bigger classes than they've ever gotten and were able to get the manpower to really turn things around. Some of those chapters are award winners now.
The numbers themselves don't save you (because like I said, it's not a magic wand to bring women to your doors) but they definitely make it possible for you to hang on and get out of that downward spiral that comes with years of unsuccessful recruitments (that can sometimes end in closure.)
Ex: It's hard to change anything when you get 5 girls, everyone else gets quota of 30, total is 100, you have 20, and you're so deflated that you just feel like giving up. But if you can manage with the RFM to get 25 and a chance in hell of getting to total, it gives you some hope and you feel like things can change.
Make sense?
