K, L, M and N may be the interesting ones. They have to make moderate- level cuts. Are they still extending party invitations to PNMs who -- to be realistic and blunt -- are almost certainly NOT going to pref them -- the PNMs who are going to go A, B, or C? And by loading up their invitation lists with these no-real-chance-in-hell PNMs, are they then forced under the release requirements to cut perfectly desirable women?

Yes, they are and I have seen this happen so much in the last 3-4 years.
Would more of the perfectly fine, but not super-spectacular, PNMs be inclined to stick with recruitment if they were getting invitations from six or seven chapters, even if A, B, and C cut them
I think so but again, we're seeing almost everybody going for the superstars. And it doesn't help when the sororities toss it off with, 'Oh well, there are kinks in the new system, we'll get it right some day." Hundreds of women have left recruitment just this year, no doubt--women who would've been fabulous members and will now hate Greeks--because the medium AND big sororities have dumped them by Day 2 because most of the sororities were aiming for the "best". We talk about PNMs not being realistic but neither are some sororities.
Just being honest.
