RFM and Ranking Chapters
RFM came around long after I was an active member, and I was asked a question today that I didn't know how to answer. I'd appreciate any help you can provide!
When a PNM does chapter selection/ranking at the end of a round do they have to place the groups in a rank order or can they give more than one group the same rank?
For example, PNM visits 10 chapters for open house. She has a great experience at 6 of them, a really good experience at 3 of them, and has to talk to her high school bully at one of them. Can she place a 1 by 6 chapters, a 2 by 3 chapters, and a 10 by the last one or does she have to place them in order from 1 to 10 ?
Thanks very much!

I'm sure someone with better knowledge of this will also chime in.
Let's say a pnm has 9 chapters to choose from. On day 2, she can only visit 6 chapters. So, she would rank her top 6 all with a number one The remaining chapters could be all ranked with a number 2 or could be ranked 2, 3, 4.

This is how it's done at the chapters I work with (ranking them 2, 3, 4).

SO, then what happens to those top houses all ranked as #1?
If you get back your list and you have a full list with none of your #2-4, does that mean everyone ranked you "high"?

If a PNM gets back every house she ranked as a #1, then it means all of those houses chose to invite her back for that round.
eta: the houses she ranked #2 through whatever could have invited her back as well, or they could not have. No one except the Panhellenic recruitment team and those chapters' recruitment teams would know.

They liked her as much as she liked them and she was very aware of where her opportunities were.

PNM's are allowed to rank as many chapters #1 as there are parties in the next round. So if a school's recruitment format is 12-8-4-2, PNM's can rank 8 houses as #1 after round 1 and then the other 4 houses as 2,3,4,5 in order of preference. If all 8 of the PNM's #1's invite her back, she will not return to houses ranked 2-5 again. If 2 of her #8's released her but houses 2 and 4 invited her back, her next round schedule will include 6 of her #1's and house 2 and 4.
This is why a lot of PNM's are confused when they see houses they didn't rank #1 still on their schedules....PNM's aren't "cutting" houses and they can only decline invitations IF every single #1 invites them to the next round.

Thank you! Very clear explanations and made it easy to explain to some non-greek parents who have daughters going through recruitment this year.

Sincerely wishing that all young pnm women were so astute!

I hope we are still using RFM twenty years from now ... it will make for a lot fewer questions over time if folks come to understand how it works.
