Okay, some of what Truth said is accurate, some not so much... Yes, almost every school in this country uses RFM to decide how many women each chapter can invite to the next round. Each chapter, based on its last few years' return rates (what % of PNMs they invited to the next round accepted that invitation to the next round), will have a number given to them by PHA. That is the max number of PNMs the chapter can invite back, and as each round continues, the number gets whittled down to the quota range. The reason for this is that you can pretty well predict how many women, say, Epsilon Sorority, needs to invite to Round Two to get a full quota come Bid Day. Yes, that's right, a few rounds ahead of time, the computer/algorithm/RFM KNOWS ALL. Things really don't change that drastically from year to year. So, Epsilon Sorority might like most of the 700 women who came to Round One, but they can only invite 300 to Round Two. There is no reason for them to invite more women to Round Two, because those extra women would just get cut before Preference, anyway. Now, Iota Sorority might need to invite more women to each round (their return rates are not as high, so they need more women to pull from to get quota on Bid Day), so they might get to invite 450/700 to Round Two. This helps the "weaker" Iota Sorority, but also DOES NOT HURT the "stronger"-recruiting, Epsilon Sorority, because Epsilon can just focus on the girls they really REALLY love, earlier in the process.
