Some chapters release the most after round 1, some after round 2, and some after round 3. Perhaps the posters' chapters made/make the heaviest cuts after philanthropy round, but that can't be the case with every chapter.

As far as early cuts for "obvious" things like low GPA, not having a rec...I'm sure those things will get you cut early at many chapters, especially GPA depending on how low it is. However, don't think that if you were cut after round 1 that there was something "obviously" wrong with you. For chapters who must cut half of the PNMs after round 1, it becomes a game of "who MUST we keep?" If a chapter has 150 members, and quota is usually around 50, and every member has 2-3 favorite PNMs, with some overlap, many of those favorites will be cut.
