Top tier houses don't hate RFM. Quota has been calculated the exact same way forever - the number of pnms with pref invitations divided by the number of chapters. Consider this: Pref night attendance pre-RFM: Top house - 90 Mid house - 85 Bottom house - 45 QUOTA = 73 17 girls from top house Pref don't get bids anywhere ("cross cut"). 12 girls from mid house Pref don't get bids anywhere. Bottom house misses quota by 28. This is why A&M lost so many chapters in the 1990's (AGD, Phi Mu, & Alpha Phi all closed within a 5-7 year span). They kept missing quota by a ton and just became so small they either couldn't afford the house they had or could never afford to build. It weakened the entire sorority system to lose almost 1/4 of the chapters that rapidly. Pref night attendance post-RFM: Top house - 90 Mid house - 90 Bottom house - 78 QUOTA = 86 4 girls from top & mid Pref are added as QA's to those pledge classes instead of being cut completely (90+4). Bottom house either misses Quota by 8 vs missing by 28 or is able to snap or COB to Quota. RFM means the competitive chapters can stay big and the weaker chapters aren't as far behind the pack as they once were. As a result, no chapters have left A&M in 17ish years. This is a GOOD thing for everyone!
