when do you know if you've been cut?

While this differs from school to school, here are the basics:

-After each party, you will be asked to list, in order, which sororities that you liked.
-At the same time, the sororities will be listing, in order, which PNMs they felt were good matches for them.
-Before the next round of parties, you will be given a list of invitations, and will attend the parties to which you're invited, in order that you've listed them.
-Repeat.

So, if your list is, in order:
1. ABC
2. DEF
3. GHI
4. JKL
5. MNO
6. PQR
7. STU
8. VW
9. XYZ

Each sorority has a list of PNMs, in order. Let's say this is ABC's.

1. Amy
2. Bethany
3. Cammy
4. Dixie
5. Emily
6. Fiona
7. Gretchen
8. Hannah
9. Iris
10. Kate
11. You etc.

But their list may look like

1. Kate
2. Cammy
3. Fiona
4. Gretchen
5. Dixie
6. Iris
7. You
8. Hannah
9. Amy
10. Bethany
11. Emily

If ABC can only invite five people, then you will not get an invitation from them. If ABC can invite 10 people, everyone but poor Emily will be invited back.

Then, realize that each sorority will also have a list, and seldom will the lists be the same (unless there's a Miss Teen America with a 4.8 GPA, great rep, and a rich family!). What ABC is looking for may not be what VW is looking for in a PNM.

Hope that helps.
