Why is Rush so Cut-throat on the Sororities' End at Big Greek Schools?

I think you are right that the PNM's choice takes priority. But I hate to think that PNM's are going to have to start thinking analytically when they pref! I stll think the fact that she was matched with her C choice tells me that she was not high on either A or B's lists. Also, in my experience, and depending on the strength of the chapter, those B lists are less reliably girls who pref that house #1. So, the placement is not as reliably cut and dried.
And, let's not forget the quota additions. Those always throw a monkey wrench in the works!

Bottom line - recruitment is a very strange animal, and trying to get a black and white answer to why something turned out like it did is almost impossible (particularly in the case of a PNM getting her third choice)

I read this entire thread and had two thoughts:

1. I have never met anyone who got their 2nd or 3rd choice ... or at least, I've never met anyone who has admitted to it.

2. I have never met anyone who admitted to being a quota addition.

They wouldn't know if they were a QA, but they might know if they were a snap bid.

I've known a bunch of fairly recent new members (from 2000 on) who've attended competitive universities who admitted that they got their 2nd or 3rd choices. I hope they never told their sororities, though. All ended up being great members!

It does happen. Thankfully, these members often have a good attitude, and their sisters never know the difference.

I don't know how one could know if she is a quota addition.
