Is there really such a thing as "competitive" and "non-competitive" recruitment?

What you have is girls withdrawing from recruitment because they don't like the options they have left.

Here is a look at the actual release numbers from an SEC school @GoldenAnchor I wish more schools would be this transparent. It gives PNMs a good idea of what they are actually facing.

The 2018 numbers for UGA.
UGA in 2018
First Round
1702 Attending
7 Withdrawn (Voluntary)
0 Released (no invitations)

Second round
1695 Invited to parties
21 Withdrawn
0 Released (no invitations)

Third round
1674 Invited to parties
118 Withdrawn
0 Released (no invitations)

Preference
1558 Invited to parties
108 Withdrawn
0 Released (no invitations)

Totals
Pledged (1393/1702) 82%
Withdrawn (254/1702) 15%
Released (0/1707) 0% nobody at UGA was released by all chapters
Not matched (58/1702) 3% (SIP/Suicide)
Quota 68 Freshmen, 7 Upperclass

That was an improvement from 2017
Pledged (1347/1707) 79%
Withdrawn (280/1707) 16%
Released (13/1707) .1% - So still a VERY small amount.
Not matched (66/1707) 3% (SIP/Suicide)
Quota 66 Freshmen, 9 Upperclass

First of all, the Released number is the only one in 2018 where the denominator is 1707, all the rest are 1702, so I presume that is incorrect.

Secondly, in some ways 2017 feels less odd. At a school like Georgia it seems more likely there should be someone somewhere that wants to do the Greek Life but is completely unsuited, but is deluded enough to think they are.

That appears to be a typo. Sorry. I did not bother to type out the breakdown from 2017. But 1702 attended first round in 2018 and 1707 attended first round in 2017.

The interesting thing about the PNMs released in 2017 is 1 was round 3 and 12 were pref.

That would be tough, getting released right toward the end.
