Hi thecon,

What I'm reading is that you are frustrated with the way that RFM is working for your chapter. It sounds like your past advisor was following the carry figures provided to fer from the RFM specialist correctly and accurately. If your chapter has continually struggled during formal recruitment, it's likely that the number of people that have to be invited back each round don't allow for many releases, which is leaving you with the impression that your advisor is forcing you to invite back these women. Remember that this isn't the fault of the advisor. She's following policies that she has been given.

RFM is formatted in a way to give weaker recruiting chapters the best chance of making quota. This means having a larger pool of PNMs than some/ most/ all of the other chapters at each round. In order to intentionally release more women than figures provide, it's generally a conversation and gaining permission from high up people in your organization on a national/ international level, and not a choice being made by your former advisor.

Perhaps your chapter can reach out for resources for your recruitment to be as prepared as possible in advance. Just a year or two of a really strong recruitment can make all the difference.

Good Luck! I agree with 33girl, make sure to tell the FSA if women are being this rude, no one needs that negativity. Also, kill them with kindness.

I'd advise you to spend more time on how to have quality conversations with the 99% of PNMs who are not mean and rude.
