I understand that they might not but that is the whole point. They get another chance.

Particularly when all that happens is fewer girls get bids overall. It's not like more people will get bids at ABC, the exact same number will. Even if Suzie PNM changes ABC's mind and gets invited back, you just bumped Jenny PNM who is now in the same boat as Suzie.

I didn't say anything about a chapter having something that another cannot offer. PNM's have their own reasons for choosing the chapters they want to go back to but the fact that most of them choose the same suggests something. And if Jenny gets bumped because Suzie changed their mind, then great for Suzie, she deserves to be there more than Jenny and she wouldn't have with RFM

And then A cuts you anyway. Overall, your odds are better if you're let go early from a more popular chapter if you keep your options open.

Again, this puts a lot of weight on membership in one chapter vs another which I think is really misplaced.

Right. As I said you do increase your chances WITH chapter A.

And I'm sorry but being in one chapter over another is not something that anyone should take lightly in my opinion. It's an important decision.

However, I doubt that's the case.

I'm not bitter. I adore my chapter. It was the chapter I wanted all along so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I just have a different opinion than you.
