Oh please. Whenever a PMN comes here complaining about being cut from all chapters except one or two, it's never because they weren't cut from the "top tier/beautiful model/rocket scientist/fraternity favorite/insert your tent talk hyperbole here." It's always because they "don't click/fit in" with the "struggling/smallest/fatty/ugly/lamest/insert your tent talk smash and bash here." They don't want to be one of those.
It's like a secret code that few here want to admit. And it's the reason why struggling chapters continue into a death spiral in spite of RFM.

That's generally true. But I can't see that as evil/bad/wrong. It's not the job of any PNM to do what's best for the struggling chapter or bring them out of their death spiral. It's her job to decide what will be a good use of her limited time and money in college.
The other secret code is that it may not be any fun to be the campus whipping boy (girl?). Yes, every PNM should be encouraged to give it a shot at pref. But I am not going to hold it against any teenager who decides that she doesn't want to spend money to be labeled as struggling/smallest/fatty/ugly/lamest right off the bat in college. Both shallow snots and wonderful human beings may come to that conclusion. The reason for the secret code is that if a PNM actually admitted that on GC, she'd be run out of town on a virtual rail.
