now!! i have another question for you all- and im not sure youll be able to answer it but i might as well give it a try. i have a question about pref night... so after you rank your sororities: abc def ghi, and you turn in your card, i get confused. i understand that there is a list each sorority has that ranks members, but im confused as to howwwww the computer goes through the girls. because obviously if its alphabetical, then the people towards the end of the alphabet get the short end of the stick because most likely most chapters will have made quota by then. it seems like whatever order you do, even random, it ends up unfair?! maybe i just have the wrong idea about how this works?

The way the lists are made will vary by sorority to sorority and is secret in general BUT rest assured it will not be random at all. It is preferential order. The first list, which is quota, is the girls the sorority would ask for first (so if quota is 20 and they invite 50 girls, the 20 they like the most will go on the first list in no order in general). The girls will usually be in alphabetical order on THAT list because even if your last name is Zyllman or Zxylophone or whatever you will still fall within quota. The next 30 girls will be ranked from 21 to 50 in preferential order. How this order is determined is secret but trust me, it works. Nobody in the chapter (except for usually the Recruitment Chair and the Recruitment Advisor) will know who is where on the list.
