Since my recruitment was in the early days of rush counselors, I received no advice not to cut all those groups. I don't even recall seeing our counselor much after the first 2 days!
Five-party day passed just fine. I was rested and ready for both parties! I got back my 3 invitations the next day--yes, XYZ had once again invited me back. I chose the same 2 again because I didn't intend to go back to XYZ on 3-party day either. See, I was taking huge risks. I didn't know that back in the day, the big cuts came near the end. There were no release regulations back then; some sororities would keep girls they had no intention of pledging until theme or pref parties just to make their groups look popular. If a girl was released from several groups near the end of recruitment, she had no way to pick up groups she'd released earlier. There was no 'regret with interest' option either. You released them and they were gone. Except for XYZ.
The theme parties were wonderful! One group had an Asian theme, the other had Alice in Wonderland. I hoped to be asked back to both for prefs.
