Release Figure Management System

[ErinBee]

Thank you for all the info! I'm so glad campuses are switching over. I know our chapter, minus myself and our president have no idea how it actually works so they never understood why we only made small cuts after the first day. It was frustrating hearing "we look dumb and desperate" from our members when the system works to our benefit and the PNM's. I'm such a recruitment nerd and loving learning how everything works.

I have one more question. One of the chapters on our campus usually doesn't make quota during formal, yet this year they took the least amount of quota additions. Also, the largest chapter took the most. Is this because the first priority is to match the PNM's with their first choice?

Erin,
I have learned on here that it depends on the school. If your bid list is full and there are still girls to be placed there are some schools that will place them in the smallest Chapter of all they preffed (I actually like this method). Some schools will place the women with their first choice. That may be what happened at your school. The PNM was placed as a quota addition at her first choice.

Yes, that's exactly it, but chapter total also figures into it. If the smallest chapter also took quota additions, then RFM is working very well on your campus. Did many girls get cut completely?

I know this year only 5 girls didn't get matched with their top choice. We also had about 15-20 drop out of 120 PNM's. I'm not sure if that is high, it was tremendously lower than last year. In my opinion, the drop out are mostly due to issues we have had the past two years with Panhellenic and dirty rushing.
