So if campus total was set at 100, and one chapter's returning size was 75, their quota was 25; a chapter with 50 returning members had quota set at 50. Therefore the number of bids that could be given by all sororities was limited from the start. The amount of fabulous women that were not able to be a part of the Greek system was tragic. Under RFM, the strength of every sorority has improved by leaps and bounds. After 2017 recruitment (and since the inception of RFM at Nebraska) almost all chapters are above or very near campus total and only two did not make quota in 2017. (And one of these two missed quota by a very small number.) Nebraska's old system was very much like IU's "bed rush." RFM was a godsend for both sororities and PNMs.

k2hh, this method is similar to the quota system when I was in school. We had chapter caps. Every chapter had a minimum quota (say 15). If cap was 60 and you only had 40 current members, you could exceed quota to reach that cap. If you had 60 current members, you could still take the minimum 15 quota and exceed the cap.
