After Several Years: What Do You Think of the New Release Figures?

[KSUViolet06]

I seem to remember it the same as honeychile, except I think we had the issue of chapters having max invites at all their 3rd round parties (day before Pref) then cutting down to the girls they ACTUALLY wanted right after that.

So XYZ would have like 100 girls at all their 3rd round parties, then do a MASSIVE cut right after that to get to the Pref numbers they wanted.

That was a second reason for Release Figures. PNMs would be so completely psyched out that they had already bought XYZ t-shirts (I know, super silly!), then not even get an invitation to Pref. Still dirty rush in my book.

Indeed. I saw/heard of many a very sad PNM quitting recruitment immediately the minute they got their Pref schedule because XYZ had invited them back every round and suddenly wasn't there come Pref time.

It was always the same story:

"I thought they liked me, they invited me back every day."

"How could they cut me now after they asked me back 3 times?"

"I don't understand."
