Ok, so based on the debate so far, I have another question.
Is there is a pool of desirable PNM's that don't end up placed because they would rather not be Greek than be Greek in an organization that they had made up their minds they didn't want to join?
Yes, sometimes at some schools there are. This is probably a stretch, but at smaller, less competitive schools, I think the chances of someone dropping out of rush are probably less than those of Sally PNM who is going thru rush with a huge and/or competitive greek system.
Those girls would be lost to the system forever because they didn't want what they didn't want. And the less desirable chapters didn't get them either, so thats where the system breaks down for them also.
Yes, sometimes it doesn't work out for the pnm's who decide they would rather drop than join the houses they didn't get cut from, and yes the chapters might have missed out on some members, but would those "less desirable" chapters want those pnms who thought they were too good for their house? I would hope not. Thankfully NPC allows chapters to COB/COR after formal recruitment is over for chapters who did not meet quota or have not reached total. During that time, those chapters can find members who want to be there.
I think you're forgetting that it isn't always about formal recruitment.
I also think this is just another way of putting your original question.
