These definitions are weird. Okay so “cross cutting” as it was described LITERALLY CANT HAPPEN ANYMORE SO DON’T WORRY! When Panhellenic nationally introduced RMF, aka the computer system that matches you because it literally use to be done by hand, if you pref the max number of houses (2 here) and rank both after pref you will get a bid. 100%. That’s why houses final numbers are normally higher than the set quota. HOWEVER, to my knowledge cross cutting always referred to similar chapters cutting girls they did want because they think they’re for sure going to a different house/legacy house. So to echo the above example, say XO, DDD, and KD are the only sororities. You’re a KD legacy, KD cuts you for whatever reason. XO and DDD think you’re a shoe in with KD so they cut you so they don’t “waste” a space on a girl that won’t pick them. Now you’re a highly qualified PNM that houses wanted but fell thru the cracks. Because we have so many sororities these girls typically still find a home. But it happened to my friend who went to a school with 6 sororities. She was able to cut her bottom three, then the same night (night before pref) the other three cut her. They all thought she liked a different house better because she’s very reserved so they thought she wasn’t enthusiastic about them but would be where she wanted to be. She found her self released and everyone was SHOCKED it happened. Girls she knew in those three houses told her all this so she knows she was a cross cut victim. TLDR: similar or same ranked houses all cut a girl because they think they don’t have a chance. Girl ends up released or in a lower ranked house as a result.
