I'm surprised that you're surprised! The number of women matched to their first choice or secoond choice has always been common knowledge at places where I've assisted with recruitment. The numbers for the individual groups are generally only known by them but the overall first matches are a very important statistic for PH to know. They also provide that info to NPC. It tells them how well the system is doing overall with educating the PNMs, the chapters, etc. That's usually one of my first questions when working with a chapter.

This is all understandable - however, it's the kind of info that the sisters should know to keep discreet and not splash all over a message board.

I agree. I would think only the people intimately involved in recruitment would know that and not the whole chapter. Yes, it's important for each chapter to know in terms of planning for the next year, but Susie Sorority does not need to know if Ruth Rushee picked xyz first or second unless Ruth tells them. I had no clue where girls ranks houses unless they told me, and that was fine with me.
