There are no "cuts" after preference. Every PNM who attended a preference party is supposed to be somewhere on the preference list of every sorority where the PNM attended preference. "Cuts" (also known as cross cut) come when the PNM is at the bottom or low on each of the three lists and all make quota before PNM gets onto the first bid list, shutting the PNM out. In that case, with quota additions, the PNM will probably still get a bid from one of her three preferences, provided that she listed all chapters that she pref'ed on her bid card.
So if you attend 3 pref parties and put all three on your bid card the chances that you'll get a bid from one of the three is very high.
