I hope I'm not lane swerving, but correct me if I'm wrong...I would assume that even for the most competitive sororities, somebody who is cut the first round is clearly not going to fit in. I knew girls in some very competitive sororities at a very competitive school who said there were PNMs even a couple rounds in that they were questioning. It seems to me that round one cuts (even though Panhellenic does dictate a certain number) are essentially, "this girl is very nice, but there is no way in Hades she would fit into our chapter." Not an agonizing decision, and not one that people really regret.
Therefore the problem with this "Suzie" hypothetical is that this is not the PNM that necessarily could have snuck by with another round (like the PNM who gets to Round 3 and gets cut before prefs)...this is a PNM that just did not even come close to fitting the bill. If she got "another chance" and was invited to another round, she STILL would not have a real shot at the chapter, but would have cut chapters that actually wanted her to make room for this fantasy chapter that was never going to happen anyways.
Please correct me if this is wrong, but this situation seems so clearly absurd that even a fraternity member can see why release figures are necessary.
