This. The chapters that have the largest new member classes (which means they took the most QAs) are generally the ones who were able to invite more to their preference parties based on return stats from prior years. Many people look at bid lists where everyone made quota and assume the largest new member classes equal the strongest recruiting chapters and that really isn't the case.
And it would be such a shame if we let weaker recruiting chapters enjoy a positive moment rather than making sure everyone understood that their QAs were just because their previous stats were bad.
The weakest chapters do not necessarily have the biggest NM classes.
If you have space - from members graduating, transferring, dropping out, whatever - you can pledge up to average chapter size. Sometimes the "biggies" get more NMs, too.
Just depends on circumstances that year.

Good grief. That's not what I said. The chapters that had the lower return rates end up with the largest PNM pool at preference so they have the chance to get the most QAs. It's exactly what RFM was designed to do, level the playing field.

There is no automatic mechanism in the way QAs are assigned to accommodate for current chapter size.
