I get it folks -- I just don't agree that this negates the mutual part of mutual selection. I do agree that the mutual aspect is not evenly distributed, and that the houses have the advantage.
I do prefer this system, even if girls are required to attend some parties that they might decline otherwise. It keeps options open to girls that they may not have considered favorable earlier in the week.

Absolutely, but it also means that any PNM not having a near perfect recruitment with all the chapters inviting her back each round is going to have a VERY limited change to control which chapters she attends based on cost.
At the end, of course she can decline her bid if that chapter costs too much, but arguably if a PNM and her parents can't afford all the chapters, it's a pretty painful process to go through.
I don't fault the OP, and I'd hate to be in her shoes, letting her daughter go through and then telling her to rank or drop because of costs. I just wish she'd known earlier what she knows now and could have avoided this particularly emotional proposition.
