RFM

Poster Message:
One main issue chapters that formerly closed due to numbers at any large campus and try to recolonize now face is actives and PNMs not fully understanding RFM. Let's take SK at Alabama for example; they're recolonizing this year after closing in 1995. That's before RFM was created, so chapters with high return rates could string PNMs along in order to get their pick of PNMs, meaning the less popular chapters couldn't make quota because PNMs would drop them (this is when PNMs could actually decline invites) because they thought they had a shot at a "top" chapter. After years of this, chapter membership would wane and chapters would eventually fold. Now that we have RFM, this isn't possible and all chapters at schools like Alabama make quota or quota+. But people who don't understand RFM hear a chapter that had previously folded will return and they start fear-mongering that when the new chapter comes, they will once again fold due to low membership. Now there are so many safeguards in place to make sure a colony charters and grows, so the main hate that comes for a new chapter is from those who are worried PNMs will pick the new chapter over theirs. In reality, actives should see new chapters as a blessing and a way to get total numbers down.
