I know for a fact that DG is one of the most sought after (if not THE most sought after bids at USC). I am sure their cuts are huge and their return rates very high.
Glad that all of the sororities did well this year!!

Maybe they were allowed to take quota and not one person more. Sometimes a lower number means that the group is more desirable, not less.
Here's my understanding of what happens sometimes with the "most desirable" houses under RFM:
Because the "most desirable" chapters have a high return rate, they have to make deeper cuts much earlier than other groups. They have fewer people that they can invite to their invitationals and to pref. Because fewer people attend their pref, they don't get many of the "extra" PNMs who attended pref somewhere but failed to match on the first go round, but who are matched to one of their pref houses because RFM guarantees them a bid if they maximize their options. "Less desirable" houses can invite more women to pref and thus, they can pick up more of the "extra" PNMs.
Somebody correct this if it's wrong.
