Yes.
My school was DEFINITELY one of the guilty parties and I could (but won't...) name the chapters who were guilty of it year in and year out.
If those chapters had cut their 3rd and 4th round lists to something more realistic and appropriate, the trickle down effect could have helped not only our struggling chapter, but also some of those middle chapters too. With each chapter inviting back as many girls as they wanted, it allowed more PNMs to drop that struggling chapter from their return list. However, when those 3 groups then dropped the axe after 3rd round many girls were left with just 1-2 chapters for pref. OR they preffed one/some of those chapters and got their 3rd choice.
We had 3 chapters close in just over 10 years from the early 80s to 1992. Since RFM there hasn't been a chapter close on my campus and all groups consistently make quota. (or very close to it).
