The number of people dropping, the "brutal cuts" and the size of recruitment have absolutely nothing to do with snap bids. - There would be the same % of self-dropping no matter how many pnm's are participating. The historical average doesn't really change. - In recruitment everything is based on percentages, so the chapters would release the same percentage of pnm's at each round no matter how many pnm's were participating. - Pnm's get back the same average number of houses each round every year, so when pnm's aren't invited back it just seems "brutal" by the sheer numbers of pnm's. And the flip side of that is that more pnm's, by sheer numbers, are getting invited back every round, but of course no one talks about that on here. - Chapters that historically have more pnm's ranking them high release more at every round because they can count on getting back most of the pnm's they invite. - Chapters that historically have fewer pnm's ranking them high release fewer each round so pnm's will still have choices when others release them. - There is not an end goal of a certain number of bids to give out. The more pnm's participating means more bids will be given out by every chapter. Quota = Number of pnm's signing cards after pref/18 chapters. And then some chapters will take Quota Additions to place the pnm's that did not bid match but did rank both of their pref houses. - Snap bids are given out by chapters who do not hit quota during bid matching. It has nothing to do with how many pnm's there are, nothing to do with the number of girls who dropped out, nothing to do with anything other than bid matching. - The system in place allows as many pnm's as possible the chance for a bid and maintains equity among the chapter membership sizes.
