No, no one said anything about penalizing anyone. I guess I don't see how holding women who accept a bid via COB to the same standards as those who accept a bid via formal recruitment is a penalty. If we tell women that they're bound to their bid for a year, that's what it should be, regardless of how their bids were issued.
I get that some chapters will always struggle, and I agree that RFM has leveled the playing field. But there are ways to even things out in addition to RFM. Valuing all bids the same way seems, to me, a good place to start. Telling women that a formal bid is binding for a year, while a COB bid is binding only until the next formal recruitment doesn't suggest the two types are valued equally.
