Yes, it's basically like this (or was during the 2002-2003 school year when I was a sophomore):
1. PNM signs up with PHA and fills out recruitment forms which include collegiate GPA.
2. PHA gives info to chapters for all PNMs.
3. Chapters choose who to invite to events. Some chapters might invite all PNMs to all events, others might invite only some PNMs to all events, some chapters might invite all PNMs to the first event and then make selections for other events, and some might invite only some PNMs to the first event and then make cuts from there. It depends on the chapter.
4. PNM goes to Greek Life Office on Bid Day to pick up bids. Greek Life Office may have multiple bids for a PNM because PNM may have attended every event for more than one group.
Generally, it's pretty rare for 6 groups to do informal, as alphagamuga mentioned. A lot of times if 5 or more groups are participating in informal at UGA, it's because a spot or two have been vacated by seniors who graduated in December and the chapter wants to fill to total (I know this was the case with one chapter who participated when I pledged... the rumor was that they had only one spot!). I also agree with alphagamuga that oftentimes the PNMs know who they want and the chapters know who they want beforehand. I was definitely the exception, going through without a lot of Greek friends and having several chapters I was interested in.
