^^ my thoughts too. I only had two upperclassmen in my rho gamma group out of a group of 40. Only one of my freshmen PNMs was released. The others withdrew themselves. Over all the numbers of PNMs who were released was less than 40 and honestly, less than that. Day one we had almost 100 PNMs drop. Even after pref night, there were 12 PNMs who were not matched because of single intentional preference.
Even with having 800 PNMs to begin with, quota was right around 60, not including quota + numbers. With nine chapters each getting around 60 members that means around 540 PNMs were given bids. So after all those who dropped (some really rapid, did I mention one day we had college game day on campus, talk about PNMs not showing up...), very few girls were actually released from recruitment.
While UO recruitment isn't a cake walk (is any?), we aren't talking SEC recruitment and by no means are recs required (yet).
It is still the basic, go through, keep an open mind, F*%& stereotypes/rumors, and maximise your options.
