33girl, I think this is exactly right. There has to be a difference between flex list and hell no list, and I don't think the hell no list should come into play at all. But all chapters have to have a certain amount of flexibility because they don't know how many girls are going to return. I think this could be just another computer process working within said flex list (without which I don't see how RFM can work) to maximize invitations throughout the entire process of rush, not just bid matching at the end.

Unless maybe the invitation lists throughout the process don't work as I think they do/should. ABC chapter is allowed to have 500 girls return to round 2. They have 700 girls on their list and the first 500 girls that match get to go. And the remaining 500 girls (I'm using a 1200 girl rush scenario with numbers pulled completely out of my arse) are out of luck. Is anything like this scenario how it works in real life? This is where inviting 505 girls wouldn't make much of a difference, and the chapters would even need to know, since those last 5 girls would be from within that pool of 700 who they already approved.

This is not without its problems (duh, but I'm just thinking out loud, as it were), like what about the girl who gets invited to 1 or 2 parties instead of the 9 which would be a full set. Do they get stuck with their 1 or 2, when the girl who got zero gets the special attention? But I still think all of this can be worked out with some decent software coding and a discussion among the powers that be to determine the rules. If they wanted to. Now that RFM is pretty much universal, I think it's fair to think about improving it.
