Is it true that most UGA sororities are seeing between 50 and 100 legacies come through?
Is it really more difficult for out-of-state pnms?
Do the larger sororities have to cut 75% after round 1? That means they go down from 1300 to 325?
Also, what have been the dynamics of snap bidding and COB? How common is it? Can you actually get a bid from someone who cut you?
Have all the sororities made quota in the recent past? Does anyone have any insight into this years' recruitment?
Thanks for any answers!

I'm not trying to make you nervous, but I know that what you want is honesty.
Regarding legacies: I knew a lot of girls who were cut by their legacy houses after rounds 2 and 3. I was cut by my legacy house after round 3 at UGA. Different houses see different numbers of legacies and cuts really depend on the house and the PNM, so there is really no blanket answer to how common a cut after round 3 is.
Yes, it is more difficult for out-of-staters at houses that consider themselves "Georgia" houses, which tend to pledge mostly in-state girls. However, not all houses are like this.
FSUZeta's description of how the cuts work is a great one and UGAalum94 had a good handle on the info about COBs. Snap bids vary from year to year... some years practically no one needs to snap, but my senior year all but one house had to snap bid at least one girl!
