Other than that, most of the time even members of that chapter can't say (because they don't know) why a particular PNM was cut. This goes for UT-Austin as well. Just because an out-of-state PNM may be at a disadvantage does not mean she's automatically going to be released. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, given the nature of the formal recruitment process.
Sorry your child didn't receive a bid, I know that's tough. That doesn't mean out-of-state students should skip recruitment if that's what they want to do. It also doesn't mean you know ANYTHING about membership selection, and it's highly inappropriate to assume you do. It's private. Why can't people seem to get over that?
ETA: VS I can't speak for reindeer but I can tell you that I almost hit a white tail deer tonight in my 13 hours of driving that would have made some mighty tasty sausages had I had a shotgun instead of a car for a method of bringin' home the bacon. Sadly, hitting it with my car would have upped the chances of e.coli.

I've never hit a big animal with a vehicle, but I think this is the year I will hit a college student, I had three close calls in two blocks. All were actively engaged in cell phone, texting, or iPod. I did freak out my guy the other night when we watched Planet Earth on Discovery and many of the featured critters I said I had eaten or wanted to eat, and which were tasty (caribou/reindeer especially). The nearest town to where I was working in Alaska had a restaurant with reindeer and buffalo on the menu, and the meat company had yak and elk as well. I could get fresh stuff to have a cook out or cured meat for snacks, but I had to lock it up in the Conex or some carnivore would be all up in my snacks.

That's all there is to it.

I'd say if you're not a member actively involved in the MS process at the chapter at that point in time, you will never know the particulars of why a PNM was or was not invited back, period. Even if you're an alumna, advisor, or someone else who thinks they are important.
