My daughter believes the cuts are going to be brutal. The PNMs she knows, herself included, have no idea how they are doing. Most of them were surprised by chapters who did not invite them back to 12 as well as chapters who did. As we have no point of reference is this how it usually is or has the revised schedule made it so?
We knew rushing at IU was tough but this is bordering on insanity.

That would be the worst! Although none of it is good...

Moms, I am sending happy thoughts your way. I had a lot of anxiety last January when my daughter was going through a competitive recruitment, and I sincerely wish your daughters the best.
It's not atypical for campuses to have an extra party, to keep numbers down and maintain the intimate atmosphere at Pref, so I wouldn't worry about that. I do think it will be ultra critical to maximize all options and list ALL pref chapters on the MRABA card. As pinksequins said, this year is rushed and it will be difficult for both sides to get a good feel for each other. There are bound to be extra surprises with where PNMs land. Keep all options open!
