HDL, thanks to Blondie I now understand the point you were trying to make. But as already said, without an in depth survey of PNMs there is no way to determine if the bid they got was from: their favorite from the beginning of Recruitment; a new favorite they discovered once they actually spent time with actives; one of the invitations they had left and had never really considered that Chapter before, yet find they truly like them; or if it was merely the best of or even the only remaining choice they had left.
In addition there is no way to know how many may have been disappointed with their remaining choice(s), yet decided to go ahead and accept a bid. Then they absolutely fell in love with their new sisters. On the other hand, I sometimes wonder how many accept a bid from a "top" Chapter just because it is a "top" and later realize they might have been happier elsewhere.
