I'm betting this. With the exception of new pictures, the 2014 Pointer looks remarkably like my 1993 Pointer. Which, yes, I still have.

Yeah, it looks quite a bit like the 2001 Pointer...

Hi all! Just got back from a weekend at Auburn! My daughter's bid was with Kappa Alpha Theta. She is very happy to be a new Theta!

Every group could have a different number to invite to each round.

Ideally is wouldn't happen, but if a PNM gets to Round 3-Skit then has no invites for Pref they ranked incorrectly after round one or round 2 OR the Chapters she had for round 2 had too many invites.

I am not sure about this. I know pnms who had invites for round 3 but were released after that, so no pref invites. Without going into too much detail, this came from both strong and weak recruiting chapters.

I think it can work both ways: WRC's sometimes release women who seem set on SRC's, too. The point is the RFM tries to mitigate these types of situations, not that it's perfect.

Yeah, I was thinking about this reading the posts from the disappointed moms in the UGA thread. It's so much better than it used to be, but some human behavior is hard to make predictions about 100% of the time. RFM does what it can.
Congrats to everyone that the process worked for!

Since the pledge classes were so large and overall recruitment numbers were up, do you think AU will open for expansion soon?
