Please understand with the sheer number of women going through the recruitment process at IU, there are many women who were genuinely liked by a chapter but were ranked too low to be on the invitation list. Each chapter's criteria for ranking is private and falls under what we call membership selection. Possible criteria could be GPA, campus involvement, legacy status, connections inside the chapter. One never knows.

There are a few chapters at IU who were rumored to be looking to boost or maintain their chapter GPA and would be looking for women with higher GPAs, even so there will be exceptions. A chapter can say they are looking for 3.0+ but in all reality there will be a few women in the pledge class under that arbitrary number.

Cuts are hard and truthfully, there is often no rhyme or reason for not being invited back. Sometimes it's just best to move on and concentrate on the positive. PNMs who can focus on the chapters who did invite them back and find the positive in each chapter tend to fare better throughout the process.
