Interesting comparisons! Until I hear otherwise, I tend to assume that everyone does things the same way we do.

After each round, we would always take the time to announce to the chapter who would be invited to the next round and who would not be, so embarrassing situations could be kept to a minimum. Since it could get to be VERY late at night, this wasn't exactly fun at times, but it is necessary. Occassionally, an alumna would announce, "Hortense will not be receiving any further invitations," which meant, "Do not argue with that statement - there's either a darn good reason and/or she had a bad rec sheet".

We also had the 2 (and once 3!) girls with the same name situation. We were VERY explicit when handing in invitations in those cases!
