It's just so funny because people often think just one thing was the reason they got cut. OK, sometimes that's true. I mean, if you pick your nose and wipe your booger on the wall and half the sorority sees you chances are you aren't getting a bid.

Other than that, most of the time even members of that chapter can't say (because they don't know) why a particular PNM was cut. This goes for UT-Austin as well. Just because an out-of-state PNM may be at a disadvantage does not mean she's automatically going to be released. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, given the nature of the formal recruitment process.

Sorry your child didn't receive a bid, I know that's tough. That doesn't mean out-of-state students should skip recruitment if that's what they want to do. It also doesn't mean you know ANYTHING about membership selection, and it's highly inappropriate to assume you do. It's private. Why can't people seem to get over that?

ETA: VS I can't speak for reindeer but I can tell you that I almost hit a white tail deer tonight in my 13 hours of driving that would have made some mighty tasty sausages had I had a shotgun instead of a car for a method of bringin' home the bacon. Sadly, hitting it with my car would have upped the chances of e.coli.
