RFM Numbers

[AOII Angel]

RFM is based on percentages. It doesn't work the way you are thinking it does. Basically you take a particular sorority and look at the last three years and decide how well they recruit based on their return rates for a certain day of recruitment. Based on that return rate, they will be given a number of PNMs that they can ask back that is a percentage of the total number in recruitment that will be most likely to lead them to having quota at the end of recruitment without stringing too many girls along. A chapter that EVERYONE wants and always has everyone accept invitations back to their next party gets to invite fewer girls back than a group that only has 40% of PNMs returning to their parties. That makes sense...right. Unfortunately, they can't fix it where girls aren't completely released, because Panhellenic doesn't know which girls will be released by each sorority. Even if Panhellenic allowed every sorority to bring back ten more girls for the ten girls released on a given day from recruitment, the chapters would likely have ten completely different girls they are interested in.
