Retro Recruitment:: a brutally honest story

[irishpipes]

Let's say quota is 40 and PNMs may attend a max of 3 pref parties. If super-awesome PNM is so super-awesome that all 3 chapters rank her in their top 40, she gets a bid to the chapter that SHE ranked #1. In this scenario she could not match to 2 or 3.

She would only match to chapter 2 or 3 if she was not in the top 40 of #1 AND #1 matched 40 before getting to her name on the list.

OR

if all 3 chapters reached 40 before getting to her name and she was placed in #1 as a quota addition.

Right, and only the 3 (or at some schools, 2) chapters that she attends for preference night will place this PNM on their lists at all. If she regretted/did not attend a group, they will not put her on their list.

She could, however, still possibly get a snap bid from a group whose preference she did not attend - but only if she was not matched at any of the houses that she attended at preference and ranked on her list.
