I think the problem is that often PNMs get the impression that mutual selection = equal selection, and that it means that their opinions directly impact where they end up in terms of "If I really like group XYZ and I think I belong there, I will end up there". Because "we can't make you join a group, you get to choose if you pledge there or not" seems like such common sense, they assume that mutual selection means their feelings will lead the selection for daily parties, when actually the chapters' does like Titchou said.

The concept that "mutual selection" stands for seems so obvious that PNMs/less than stellar people advising them have put a different meaning on it that isn't actually real. PNMs hear "it's a mutual selection process" and interpret it as "you can get into that top tier chapter that is way out of your league if you want it bad enough because your opinion matters and you're desperate for good news".
