Questions about GPA Requirements and PNMs

[KSUViolet06]

I've been debating making a thread about the whole "selection isn't really all that mutual" thing (for the benefit of PNMs and parents), but there's no real nice way to say "it's more sorority selection."

I think it is much more mutual in the actual bid matching process, but...that's after we've made the bulk of the selection decisions in the earlier rounds. Like, you're mutually matched with what you have left after we're done doing most of the choosing. lol.

But as OldRow just mentioned, that's not true for a weak recruiting chapter. Yes, the chapter still makes the first "cuts", if you will, but a) weak recruiting chapters often make very few cuts under RFM, and b) there are far more women who choose not to return to weak recruiting XYZ than are cut by weak recruiting XYZ over the course of recruitment. It is just as heartbreaking to not see your favorite PNM on a party list as it is not to see your favorite chapter.

I think the difference may be that the women in XYZ have a pretty good idea of this going in; the PNM's may not.
