The Release Figures Management system or RafM will impact schedules from here on out. this system is basically a way to manage Formal Recruitment, putting all of the chapters on campus on even footing. Here’s how it works: Statistics and numbers from past years recruitment events are kept showing how many girls elected to return each sorority’s events. It is these figures that are used to determine how many girls are invited back to a sorority’s events this year. The past three years of events are analyzed. Panhellenic looks at Quota (the number of girls who received bids) from the previous years as well as the number of events and the average percentage of girls returning to parties. Here’s an example: Lets say at college XYZ there are 7 NPC groups on campus. For this particular round of recruitment there are 5 events held during the day and 125 PNM’s are registered to attend. Last year each sorority bid 18 girls on Bid Day. Sorority ABC had a return rate of 82%…meaning 82% of PNM’s returned to this sorority for parties over the pst 3 years. To determine how many girls can be invited back you take Quota (18) times events (5) = 90 (Y) divided by % (in this case 82). That equals 110. So sorority ABC can invite a MAXIMUM of 110 girls back to round two parties. The RFM is meant to make larger sororities cut more girls early on instead of keeping girls until the last minute and cutting hard at the end, while smaller groups can invite back more girls early on and increase their numbers. RFM usually results in more chapters taking quota and more PNM’s receiving bids.
