Ok. Here's how it works. Round 1. PNMs attend parties at all 18 houses over 2 days. After attending their last party they rank the houses 1-18, with one being their first choice, ect... Round 2 consists of 12 parties. It is possible for a PNM to be invited back to more than 12 houses. If the PNM is invited back to the houses that she ranked 1-12, then those are the houses that they go to. If not, then it just goes down the list to 13, 14,...18. However, I think that it is pretty rare for someone to be invited to more parties than they can attend.
Also, I know that I've posted this in another thread somewhere, but at UGA grade cuts are NOT an issue. I would say that about 95% of the PNMs are incoming freshmen. UGA has become a pretty competative school. My freshman class (Fall 2004) had average score of:
Average Core GPA
> 4.05
Average SAT
> 1437
Therefore, if you had the grades to get into the school, you have the grades to get into the sorority.
I really think that a lot of recruitment at UGA is based on the first impression. On paper, 99% of the PNMs are STELLAR. I think it also has a lot to do with who you know (if you come from an area like mine where there are about 300 people from my hs at UGA) and whether they like you or you stole their boyfriend in hs.
AGAIN, I have never been on the other side of recruitment, so these are guesses/opinions. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I know that there are several UGA people on this board.

Your got it exactly, as UGA has raised it's admission standards over the years the incoming classes are better and better and most girls going through are freshman. Georgia is a small state when it comes to this stuff too, many girls are well known by people from the same home town before they hit campus. It is still a very formal rush and competative system-not good or bad that is just the way it is.
