recruitment ranking question

[VTgoober]

I have a quick question about this too. So you can get invited back to a sorority party that didn't exactly want you (not high on their list) because the PNMs they wanted put another sorority higher on their list than them? I hope that makes since..

If your school operates on the same ranking system that alot of other schools do, after every round you rank your top *insert number here* as number 1, then your bottom 2 or 3, as #2 and #3.

Example:

If your school has 5 sororities, when you rank the first time, you might rank them:

1. Sorority A
1. sorority B
1. Sorority C

then if you didn't like the other 2 as much you'd put them

2. Sorority D
3. Sorority E

To kind of answer your question, if A, B, and C cut you, you will return to D & E. So you can get asked back to groups that you don't love, if your top choices don't invite you back (which with the release figures, may come down to choosing between you and other girls if they can only have so many come back).

Also, chapters DON'T KNOW where PNMs rank them unless the PNMs tell them (and they probably shouldn't).

I'm rambling but I hope this helps you understand things better.

Are you asking about party invitations or bids?

Party lists are not ranked, so a pnm is not ranked on the chapter's list of invited pnms. As explained elsewhere, the chapter is told how many to invite back each round. The pnms who are invited are just listed alphabetically.

Pref night lists are ranked... and yes, in a nutshell, a pnm can end up matched with her 2nd choice based on where she falls on the list. There are people on GC who explain this much better and more thoroughly than I do.
