The only time a "cut" is made is if a PNM is invited back to all chapters during an invite round, then their last ranked chapters will be dropped (ie, a PNM can go to a max of 4 houses, all 6 sororities want her back, they will cut the two she ranked lowest).

I really think that needs to be explained to PNMs better, because being told you're cutting the whole time when that isn't true leads to a lot of confusion about why they keep having to go back - and the resentment against those lower ranked chapters they're "cutting" is going to grow each time.

As far as colonization, there are a few recruitment threads regarding colonization recruitment that you can search for to read that might be helpful.

Thank you for explaining this to me. I was aware that you were able to be asked back to sororities you had "cut" or ranked low, but not that you weren't cutting too!
