It Is Better Now

Before the RFM recruitment process began in 2003 quota was set before rush parties began and PNMs were more heavily released in LATE recruitment party rounds. This usually meant popular houses had as their guests many more women than they could pledge for a lot more party rounds. Upset PNMs still existed when released from a popular house, but only LATER in the rush party loop than they are disappointed today. This lead to many houses NOT making quota due to upset PNMs dropping so close to Bid Day. It also led to very uneven quota numbers achieved by houses on a campus. For example, a popular house would still make quota with 30 women accepting bids (remember, quota was set before any parties began) but unpopular houses on the same campus would end up with 3, 5, 7, and 11 PNMs accepting bids. This happened nationwide and led to many good chapters folding only due to low numbers over the course of 30 years (1970-2000). RFM changed that system to set quota after the pref (final) formal party. RFM requires popular houses (popularity varies by campus) to instead cut more PNMs after the FIRST open party. Under the RFM early release method, a majority of PNMs must look at more houses than just popular ones right away. And since quota is set right after pref parties, it means most if not all houses will make quota and even above quota because more PNMs are open to more chances to belong and will have opened their eyes to those options earlier in the process.
