I think that everyone puts their best foot forward at recruitment. If all play fair, there should be no regrets. Recruitment counselors counsel, sorority women are gracious hostesses and PNMs go in with good intentions. Some women are not right for certain chapters, and others refuse to make the effort with the chapters that have shown interest in them. Still other women are just not a good fit for the Greek System.

Yes, there are cases of great ladies being cross-cut, shut out of chapters because of their perceived legacy preferences, etc., but I think overall that everyone does make an effort to fill the new member classes with the women who are right for their chapters.

As has been said in past threads, if we match every single woman with her top choice minus the chapter's preferences being considered, where is the mutual selection? Just because you have been asked back to a second job interview doesn't mean that the hiring manager should feel guilty for giving an offer to another candidate. Everyone has a shot.

I think one thing that has been working on some campuses is giving PNMs a better idea of where they stand earlier in the process-- when the chapters with historically higher returns have to cut a larger percentage of women earlier on.
