I agree that RFM has helped a significant number of chapters over the years, but there are still WRCs that, despite RFM, are light years away from being equal (in terms of numbers) to other chapters on that campus.
I noticed on Irishpipes' recruitment thread just last week a campus that has several sororities, all but one of which got 20+ new members while the historically WRC on that campus got less than ten. While it may not be commonplace, this situation is still very real and current. It isn't ancient history, and the complaints about the "value" of a bid offered during COB versus bids offered during formal recruitment are legitimate and not simply spewed venom.
If NPC truly wants to provide a level playing field - which I assume was part of the decision to adopt RFM - providing an "out" for women who were offered bids during COB seems to blatantly diminish the value of those bids. Now, I don't want to speak for 33, but I imagine that chapter/situation mentioned above is precisely the type of chapter/situation 33 was talking about. It may not happen on every campus, but it definitely still happens.
