Thanks for sending this! I wonder if the optional designation is tbd based on numbers? I wonder what the Rho Gammas said about that. I will wait until Friday to ask. Don't want to stress her out.

At Iowa, the chapters made the cut first, then you selected from the available houses on your list. My understanding is that it is the opposite at IU and the PNM picks 16 and hopes that they get an invite from the houses they picked. Is that correct?

On her schedule it says Preference Round 1 & 2 then optional 3rd round and optional 4th round. Unsure what that means. My oldest was a RG and they had 3 Prefs. I am thankful she's keeping an open mind and not stuck on her Legacy house. Tomorrow is a long day for them hopefully they stay warm. Good luck to all the PNMs, Moms and families.

Those are optional additional parties for the sororities who have larger PNM pools at preference. PNMs can only attend a maximum of two preference parties at IU this year.

No. The PNM ranks her chapters and the sororities rank the PNMs. It's a lot more complex, but basically with RFM, the PNM only gets invited back to the parties of the chapters she ranked high if she was high enough on those sororities' lists. Although the process is called mutual selection, a PNM won't get an invite back unless she's ranked high enough on that sorority's list, no matter how high she ranks them. (She can also be invited back to her bottom choices if they ranked her high enough but some of the sororities she ranked higher did not rank her high enough to get an invite.)
