Oh, I didn't mean the matching process wasn't transparent in how it worked; I meant that the whole recruitment process, to me, is very nontransparent to most participants. For example, most of the chapter has no idea who we invited back and then whom of those PNMs did not choose to come back. Similarly, with QAs. Why did one chapter get so many QAs and another got none. I believe this lack of transparency leads to a lot of rumors. I'm not suggesting I know a better way to handle these things, but I do believe lack of transparency allows people to come up with their own explanations.

Well, it shoudn't be if that's what you are seeing. The chapter - at least the officers of recruitment- what we call EVC in Delta Gamma - can see ALL the numbers so they know who they didn't invite and who ranked them where. So while they may not release that information to all 200 chapter members, the information is there in RFM reports. I think it would be difficult - if not unethical - to go over each PNM with all 100-200 chapter members not to mention you don't have the time between rounds.

And I think most people can figure out the QAs if they have the RFM info. You really should not be putting that sort of info out for public dissemination.
