Actually, KD did this my sophomore year. We were asked by 2 fraternities on the first round, but "heard through the grapevine" that another house (#3) was going to ask us on 2nd round. So we rejected those 2...and the 3rd house DID ask us.
It's a risk the sorority takes...sometimes, it can backfire. I know that one of those first 2 houses was VERY involved in all kinds of campus leadership (Student Government, Cicerones, etc)...and let's just say that there was payback..IMO

Also... about pairing up a large house with a small house. That might sound good in theory... but I know that it might work the other way. If a big "popular" fraternity house is paired up with someone they'd rather not be.... then they could just turn the cold shoulder...and be jerks b/c it would "hurt their image" to go with them.

Yup - this happened my freshman year. The fraternity was not too friendly with our chapter as a whole. Actually, I take that back - they were always cordial & showed up when we had our events together (always at their house). It's just that after experiencing HC my soph year, I realized how much fun the week could be.
(Needless to say, my junior & senior years were not spent at fraternity parties... )
