Does GC have a disproportionately large number of PNM's who don't get bids?

It seems to me that there have been more failed rushes that have been posted in the last year or so. I remember thinking the same thing last fall. Not so much before then. I'm not sure if it's a statistical anomaly, or if other factors are in play.

I don't think just in the last few years. I've been noticing it since at least 2005ish.

I don't necessarily think that it's because everyone coming on to GC is a failure, I'd lean more towards the competitive school/lack of resources reasoning. Not every PNM who goes through recruitment knows someone in a chapter or has had a family member that has been a member of a chapter.

I know I personally went through a competitive recruitment (obviously, Indiana) having come from a family with one Greek member (not at IU) and from a high school that has very few people go through recruitment. This made it pretty difficult to really know how to prepare for the cutthroat nature of a competitive recruitment, and being able to read threads did make it at least a little bit easier.
