OK, so I haven’t been on Greekchat since I was a freshman, but I have a question and didn’t know where to get the answer. I tried looking through RFM threads, but didn’t really find an answer.
I thought about changing my username, but given the details it’s not too hard to figure out my university. Trust me--everyone on my campus that cares about the situation is already well aware of it. It’s even all over the “other board”, if you know which one I mean. Still, I’d appreciate it if GC posters would just use the generic tags that I am going to use. I don’t want to aggravate those that already have been hurt by this, and it could happen to any of our organizations.
I attend “University X” and we have a fairly big, fairly competitive recruitment. I've never been on the recruitment committee, but I do know we use the RFM system—I guess about everyone has to anymore. Anyway, when the dust settled after recruitment, one of the best recruiting chapters (A) ended up a dozen under quota! Another fairly popular chapter (B) also was several under quota, but 2 houses (C and D) that have traditionally had more challenges in recruiting/retaining ended up bidding more than a dozen over quota!!
To jack things up even further, rumor has it that “A” can’t COB this year because they are already over chapter total!
How does this happen, and how often does it happen? It seems really unfair that a popular chapter is penalized by the system.
