a rumor was going around on an anonymous forum that Chi O accidentally dropped their top 200 girls instead of their bottom 200... any truth to this claim? How would people know?

Baloney.

Trying to tread lightly, ms-wise, but isn't that impossible from a computer basis?

Didn't we have this discussion earlier in the week that it happened at another school and a different sorority but again, the top 200 were dropped instead of the bottom?

Anonymous forum? You mean the tent talk/gossip chain?

If you've ever worked with ICS in any capacity, you know that you're checking and re-checking like crazy before you make any sort of releases, invites, etc. No one running ICS at a school like Bama is that stupid.

That "entire top 200" thing is likely false and created by women dropped by Chi O in order to save face to their friend groups.

Other common myths across the country include:

"I was supposed to get a bid to XYZ but my friend told me that they accidentally cut the WRONG Sarah."

"I was supposed to get a bid to XYZ, but there was a glitch and all the girls who got XYZ invites ended up with DEF invites instead."

"I was supposed to get invited to XYZ, but they had too many girls, and had to cut someone, and my name started with A so I was at the top of the list.

These are all about as true as me being the Queen of England.

I have actually seen this happen once with pref invites. The situation was rectified at the last minute and no one was the wiser.

Even if it hadn't been caught, that information would never have made it outside of a very, very small group of people. If everyone knows about it, then you can bet that the source was a disappointed and embarrassed someone or someones.
