Quota

Poster Message:
It doesn't matter how many girls are rushing, there is a percentage-based formula that determines how many pnms are carried by each house from round to round called RFM. In this system, some houses are required to release more pnms at every round, others less, based on the chapters' relative historical recruiting strength. These numbers are given to the chapters by panhellenic, not decided by the chapters themselves, and are constantly adjusted during the process. RFM is designed to give pnms their best chance for choices at each round and allows them to focus on the chapters that are inviting them back. There is no guarantee for any pnm to not get completely released, but not for the sake of numbers, just due to the chapters' decisions about fitting with them. It happens but is rare. Don't worry about it. The vast majority of pnms not completing the process dropped out on their own. Remember that quota is not set before pref, it is set only after pref is complete and all pnms have signed their cards. If you put both your pref houses on your card you are guaranteed a bid to one of them, which might not be your first choice but you will get a bid. If you only have one pref house and put it on your card you will get that bid. You are not guaranteed a bid if you only put one of two pref houses down, because if you don't match with that one house before they reach quota then you have no other option and will not get a bid.
