How did Rachel not have a chance if she was invited back? She got another round to meet the girls-that was her chance.

I am responding to your posts with what I think. I'm sorry if you don't like the way I speak or write or whatever, but I am saying what I think. Again, that does not make me a troll.

I don't have a strict opinion on RFMs. I do have an opinion in that I feel bad for the girl that could have made it into that sorority if she got another chance.

So you should get two chances but not three? Sounds like you'd just rather have a second round robin/non-cutting night.

Rachel was never going to get in to sorority A, she just barely made the cut to get invited back to the extra party sorority A added just to give Suzie a second chance. In the process she cut B. Because she went to A where she had no chance, she didn't get a bid at all.

The thing is, there are no Suzies or Rachels. They're all "what-ifs." There's no one for you to feel bad for. No PNM knows for sure why she's not invited back, and they're aware that some chapters are more competitive than others. Ideally they know that some chapters will cut more heavily than others. There are very few PNMs who this will hurt, and those are people who refuse to consider another chapter after losing out on Sorority A. That means it's the PNM's choice, for better or for worse, not to continue with recruitment or accept a bid.

If you want to "feel bad" for someone who gets cut earlier, well fine. But more PNMs would end up bidless (snap bids not withstanding) and chapters would struggle without the new system. So join us on the campus/system level discussion if you actually want to talk about it.

/and none of this means you're not a troll either. 33girl linked several good reasons.
