I don't know about the size of your campus, or what chapter total is, or how many PNMs come through, but usually, it is just a logistical/numbers thing, not something personal.

The sororities themselves have no say in who comes to which preference party. Maybe one of your "rushers" was already paired with someone for preference conversation. Often times, the officers in charge of recruitment (sorority members, not panhel) will pair up PNMs with sisters who they think WILL hit it off/have things in common, even if they haven't previously met, because the sisters that the PNM had previously spoken with are already set to speak to another PNM. I'm trying to explain this without revealing membership selection processes, but please know that it is NOT something personal, or that the sisters you spoke to in pervious rounds don't want to preference you.

I did sister-PNM preference matching for recruitment for two years, and it really is hard to keep everyone happy! It really is a logistics/numbers situation, nothing personal.
