RFM specialists do not travel to the campuses. they are assigned a number of campuses, usually 6-10 depending on size, and communicate via phone and email with the GAs as recruitment moves forward. not only does each chapter have an invite list, they have a flex list of women to add if circumstances warrant. One of the issues is that chapters sometimes tend to rely on the formula to get them the needed number of attendees at a party when they need to be targeting those invites. Reducing the numbers the better recruiting chapters can bring back challenges them to do this.
So, in short, forecasting is very, very difficult, and the outcomes are not perfect, but RFM is miles ahead of its predecessor and has done much to level the playing field.
I completely agree. I was just providing another example for the poster who was talking about certain "strong" chapters not making quota.
