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

[DG'89]

Originally, I was a skeptic about the RFM, but I have personally witnessed that RFM works if you follow the numbers. Invite the correct number back and you are usually on track to achieve quota.

Some College Panhellenics will try to persuade lower return chapters to take women they do not want in order for them to achieve their number. However, chapters can insist upon their right to not invite back any PNM who is not a fit for their chapter (be sure to loop in your regional/national team if you do this). Because in the end, the chapter has the ultimate right to decide who to invite back. But, they need to understand that if they significantly under-invite, they risk not making quota that year.

Bottom Line: RFM works and makes all chapters stronger.

Or they risk the PNMs they DO want getting turned off by the freakazoids they were forced to invite back...and the PNMs put them at the bottom of their lists...and the chapter doesn't make quota anyway.

RFM is fabulous to keep the most popular chapters from "hogging" PNMs and to help the rushees themselves take a look beyond Top Tier. It is not, however, a good idea when it's used as a way to "force" struggling chapters to take anyone with an ovary just so the school can crow about their 100% placement rate.

I don't think you were advocating any of that though. Not to mention that kind of BS has been around since before RFM.
