I skimmed through some of the discussion in this thread, so forgive me if my point was already addressed:
I like RFM. I think it does make a lot of sense to have PNMs take honestly assess chapters earlier in their process rather than later. Where I see some points of concern are:
1) For chapters that are doing even moderately well on their campus, they may have to face really steep cuts in Round 1, and I think this makes a case for some kind of longer Round 1 (maybe two sets of visits, etc.) process on campuses that can swing it. The difference between someone who's invited back and who is released can be pretty random.
2) When I was a collegiate, "double-rushing" was always an issue for my chapter: we would frequently have a few PNMs each round who had to be doubled up with another PNM because we didn't have enough sisters for conversation. With RFM suggesting that smaller chapters invite back even higher percentages of PNMs, I think Greek Advisors NEED to include break parties (for PNMs, not for chapters) to ensure that the smaller chapters can actually handle their PNMs effectively.
My two cents.... for now
