I mean if I had been a UGA rushee and got the whole way to third round in my top choice, then got cut, I think I'd quit in disgust too.

It is my understanding that grade cuts should be done after round one for exactly the reasons you gave. It's one thing to do massive cuts first or even second night if a PNM isn't going to be bid, I can understand that. Every sorority and every individual chapter knows what it wants for her members, and not every PNM is going to fit into every chapter. But cutting for third night? Who expects massive cuts for third night?
As for getting to the third round and then getting cut, well, my heart still aches for those young women as well as all the chapters. So many people must have been hurt and it sounds like SO MUCH of this could have possibly been prevented. Congratuations to those chapters who did achieve quota (and I'm happy to see AOII there, of course!) Hopefully the other chapters will be able to quickly get there. If anyone knows numbers, is it possible for the remaining chapters to get to quota quickly? Wouldn't that be wonderful for the UGA chapters to achieve, especially after everything that happened during formal week.
This really does give a new meaning to the concept of southern/SEC recruitment. Hopefully the manditory release figures and quota-setting will be handled better there in the future.
