It would only be pure speculation that girls were not paired up as they should have been. There is no way for actives to know this, only panhellenic executive board members would be privy to this information and I doubt they would share it and they would do everything possible to correct the mistake before the parties started. It is impossible to know for sure who is doing the cutting, the pnm, the sorority, or the sorority selection board if there is one. Sometimes a girl is well liked by the person who is rushing her but executive decisions are made and she is cut anyways for a wide veriety of reasons that may have nothing to do with her personally. Perhaps the chapter had so many legacies that there was only room for 'X' number of pnm's....who knows?? That is private selection information and I highly doubt that any girls could know for sure that they were paired wrong. I'm sure they are just guessing and assuming. The process does work, not always to everyone's liking but it does work.

THIS.

Alot of times, "computer glitch" stories are recruitment urban legends or rumors.

It's pretty rare to have problems with the software, unless your school has NEVER used it and they're clueless about how it works.

The Auburn peeps are probably pros at using it, so it's not likely that they'll have problems.
