What else should cuts be based on in the first round? If a resume shows that a PNMs GPA does not meet the chapter's requirement, she'll be cut. If a rec or a sister raises concerns about a PNM, she'll likely be cut.

I don't think grades or concerns about PNMs are on the same level. After all, if your grades aren't up to par as a sister, you're on probation or out. If there is bad behavior as a sister, you're on probation or out. What I think aephialum is saying is - what if a rushee is matched with the one sister out of 100 she doesn't click with and she would have been great for the chapter? I'm sorry, but that really sucks. Not only that, if you don't care for the sister and she recommends a rushee, are you really going to be that high on the rushee? I just think the objective of rush should be for as many rushees to meet as many sisters as humanly possible. If it makes the parties a little longer, oh well.
And no, there aren't always more PNMs than bids...a lot of us would LOVE it if our schools just had enough PNMs to fill all the sororities to total.
