The "party line" is that selection is mutual. It's less mutual than it's portrayed. The balance of selection tips in the favor of the chapters.

That's the truth and I don't know why so many people here get bent out of shape when it gets said.

Mutual selection only really exists for the top PNMs and the top recruiting chapters.

This does not only apply to the top recruiting chapters. The top recruiting chapters just get more of the PNMs they want versus the other chapters. Chapters always get to make the first selection where as only the top PNMs get to have their pick. Even then how often is it that a PNM has a full party? 25% of the time, less?

I think what Old_Row is saying is that at competitive schools and schools with deep-rooted group identities, often only the top chapters actually pick who they want; everyone else picks from the rest as you go further down in desirability.
