Back when I was rushing, U of I still used SORUSH, so when I got my list for 2nd invite, I saw that only 5 chapters had invited me. Now, 5 was the maximum number of parties I could attend, but I was a 16-year-old girl sitting next to my rush group friends who all had 9 or 10 invites. I was DEVASTATED.
Fortunately, I had a great Rho Chi, who pulled me aside and told me that she knew two of my favorite chapters were still on the list, and I still had a full schedule, so I should stop crying, pretend these were the only five chapters on campus, and go get some sleep.
And I did, and it was a very good thing.
But as said upthread, a lot of Rho Chis aren't very good. They don't know how to handle situations like that. I literally put the other 14 out of my mind. Back in the dorm, people were comparing lists, and I was like "Are you going back to some of your favorites? Awesome, me too!"
I think PRUSH is a big improvement, because if I had shown up ready to go to parties, seen a list of five, there may have been one or two missing that would have disappointed me, but I would have been over it and off to second invitational in a quick minute.
