Can somebody explain what is a “carry figure” and “flex list”?

these are very specific things that are part of RFM, and you can google them if you are really interested, but it's complicated and not something anyone outside of panhel and chapter recruitment teams/advisors should spend brain cells on.

It’s part of the process for right sizing the invite lists. Part of the funnel process. Houses with the highest past desirability percentages have a lower carry amount than those with lower percentages.

It’s not important for PNMs to know this because there’s nothing that knowledge will do to change their position on the list. It’s not some scary thing and there’s no secret way to change your position other than to just have good conversations and present yourself well.

I hear the carry for top houses into this round is 600ish?

That is not a carry number for philanthropy

Release Figure Management benefits the pnms' and the houses. Each house must release a certain amount of pnm's based on their historical return rates. Houses who statistically have had higher percentages of pnm's wanting to return there, observed over a period of years, must release more pnm's earlier than houses that don't have as high return rates. Without RFM, pnm's used to be carried to further rounds in certain houses even though the houses already knew they were going to drop them anyway, and all the while those pnm's were dropping other houses off their schedules where they actually had a chance. When those pnm's were inevitably dropped, they were often left without any houses at all. This situation also left houses short of pnm's and forced them to take pnm's just for numbers and to snap and COB more often. RFM evens the playing field and allows pnm's more chances to find a home with higher quality new member classes across the board.

Nice copy and paste from the Auburn page. I know, I wrote it LOL. Hope it does some good over here and helps, there's too much bad stuff all over the place.

Are upperclassmen being considered outside the "said number" even though there is no upper class men quota?

Nope. There is no special consideration for upperclassmen this year.
