Recruitment math difference isn't driven by how many can sleep in the house, its driven by how many PNMs rank a sorority "I WANT TO RETURN MORE TO THIS HOUSE" after each party. For a MADE-UP example to show math only, NOT TRUE FIGURES: after First Round kkg might get 800 of 1000 women ranking their house as "I WANT TO RETURN"; piphi might get 790 of 1000; aphi might get 785; xo might get 780 ; dg might get 765; sk 710; axo 700; and each of the rest 690 women each ranking to return. Accordingly kkg-piphi-aphi-xo-dg would have to cut a large number of women invited back because there are only 750 slots open for Round Two invitations. In this made-up example SK-axo-and-the-rest accept women to their second parties who wanted to cut their houses...sk 40 women, axo 50 women, and the rest 60 women each...because those houses did not rank high on PNMs "I WANT TO RETURN" lists. THAT IS HOW WOMEN WHO WANTED TO CUT A HOUSE SOMETIMES GET INVITED BACK ANYWAY. TODAY'S SYSTEM WORKS TO MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY HOUSE AND FOR EVERY PNM. 25 years ago a PNM who ranked only kkg and pphi after first parties (not wanting the other ten at all) and who was was cut from both houses would be dropped from rush after first round. Today's system works better to place a larger number of women. It's nice to know which specific groups you want, but if they don't want you FOR WHATEVER REASON today's rush system gives you more options to belong.
