CWRU is pretty academic focused and I'm guessing they would lose a lot of girls if events were on school nights.

I guess our directors biggest concern is that since the chapters do not pick the girls that want to go back to their parties, the PNM's will be dropped and the chapter's will see less girls. Does that make sense? Depending on how the chapter does the previous year depends how many PNM's they are allowed to have back the second weekend.
Thanks for all of your help!

It sounds like the chapters and the girls both need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Do you have a problem with everyone wanting to go to sorority XYZ and no one wanting to go to sorority ABC? Or is it just an issue of rushees AND sororities not being able to convey to each other where they really want to be? Do all the women have to visit all the sororities at least once? I read your Greek life website, and frankly it was really wordy and confusing - I couldn't find an answer to that basic question. Also what is up with the part about no one being allowed to go over ceiling of 50? Do you not use the same quota for all groups?
There are always going to be perfect PNMs that everyone wants. Only one sorority will get them. If sororities persist in focusing on 10% of the rushee pool to the exclusion of the other 90%, I'm sorry, but the crappy numbers they get will be their own fault.
This isn't a computer vs hand matching issue, this is an attitude issue.
