New alum here that used to be on a membership selection committee….I think you all are confusing retention and release figures. Retention is how many girls stay year to year or drop their sorority from Bid Day to Graduation. Release Figures Management is a National Panhellenic thing where the campus Panhellenic keeps the statistics on how many PNMs rank houses as number 1 (to keep) vs number 2-4 in order (to drop). Every house is given a specific number that they should invite to each round based on the PERCENTAGE of PNMs that rated them #1 during that round in previous years. So if 95% rated ABC as #1 after philanthropy and 67% rated XYZ #1, then the following year XYZ needs to invite proportionally more than ABC to that round. All the chapters should invite the number that they are told to invite to each round. If they want to invite more or less than Panhellenic suggests, they pay a fine to do so because it affects the overall bid rate for the week.
