Late 90's, we had very high numbers of PNMs at UCF, we just a few hundred short of a thousand going through. There was very little COB/COR.
Our new member classes were in the 60s and 70s. We've added more sororities throughout. I pledged in 97 with 7 NPC sororities. In 2004, there are 11 NPC sororities. Great growth.
As a PX in 99, I can tell you that I had girls who were cut completely after round 2 or were cross-cut after prefs, but ALL were offered snap bids. Some accepted and others refused. We told our PNMs to keep an open mind, and while you might not get your first or second choice, it was very likely you would get a bid to a chapter.
I think all of the UCF sororities are full of great women, and I'd be proud to represent any of those groups...
However, as an emotional PNM it's often hard to see the forest for the trees once you've invested yourself in an entire summer of pre-preparation, expectation and the real thing!
