I respect your right to have an opinion, but I think you're confusing trophies for all vs. matching more women who had friends/connections/people pulling for them but missed the house-selected number cut bythismuch. Someone else posted earlier on that first cut is the same as last cut. The only difference is your house may have actually really wanted the woman first cut. I'm not saying take everyone, because I recognize that not every woman would feel comfortable in every house.
"It must not be all that special to be in a house in Alabama." Nooo, not everyone gets a bid in Alabama either, but they recognize that even their most coveted houses (by whatever standard you want to use) can, and do, take more women they want by using the same quota that the other chapters do. Is the system at Alabama still exclusive? Yes; we wouldn't have as many threads about southern recruitments, teas, letters of rec., etc... if just anyone could strut into their system.
