Pnm's need to understand that the sororities do the choosing and that pnm's don't drop houses, they only rank them. Your ranks of the sororities do not influence how the sororities rank you, they don't even see your rankings of them. You will get back houses that you ranked lower. Give them a fair chance. The system is designed to give you back as many choices as possible so you can get a bid. The way it works is that each sorority is given the maximum number of pnm's they can invite back to a round. These numbers change over the course of rush based on percentages and the number of pnm's staying the process. If you are high enough on a sorority's list to be above the cutoff they are given, then you are invited back. If not, you are released. You could be the one right below the line and they liked you just fine but they can't go over their given number. When houses you wanted to keep release you, and this WILL HAPPEN, the computer algorithm adds back lower ranked houses to your schedule to give you as many houses as possible for a round. Your rankings of the chapters only matter in the event that more of them want to invite you back than you have room for in your schedule. If that happens (it happens for a few girls but not for most) your lower ranked choices will drop from your schedule. The far more common scenario is that you don't get asked back to some houses you loved and will go back to houses that you need to take a second look at. One of these could really be your home. DO NOT TAKE BEING RELEASED FROM A HOUSE PERSONALLY. Not being invited back does NOT mean you weren't liked, that they judged you as lacking somehow, or that they wouldn't want to be friends with you. Rush is a numbers games. It's not personal (though it can feel that way) so keep that in mind and don't dwell on where you were cut, focus on the houses you have in front of you because they want you back!It's far better to know earlier than later in the process that you aren't a match for a house. Keep going, don't drop out!
