How many houses do we drop/rank after each round of recruitment?

Days 1 & 2 you go to 6 houses each (12 total chapters) and after day 2 you "drop" 4 and rank 8.
Day 3 you go to 8 and drop 3 and rank 5
Day 4 you go to 5 and rank your top 3
Day 5 you pref at 3, and then rank them in order of preference.
Day 6 you run home.

However, this is only if everything goes perfectly. Most likely, a large number of girls won't have a full schedule. You may not get invited back to as many houses as you can go to (you may have room to go to 8 houses, but are only invited back to 6, for example). You may have 3 houses to pref at or even just 1. Don't freak out either way, it's common. Even girls preffing at ZTA and KD may not have a full schedule because they just weren't a fit for other houses.

If you drop a house but they ask for you back, can you still go back the next day? And is it typically for a girl not to get a bid at UCF?

Not getting a bid happens, but is extremely unlikely. 90% of the time, the girls who don't get a bid are the ones who were too picky and didn't maximize their options (by "suiciding").

And yes, you can drop a house and still go back to it. Above, I said that you may not have a full schedule. In this case, if sororities you dropped are willing to have you back, they will be added onto your schedule in order to give you the most options possible. For example, say you went to sororities A, B, C, D, and E, you have to "drop" 2. You decide drop D and E. However, for whatever reason, sorority C doesn't ask you back. Your schedule the next day will be A, B, D (assuming that you ranked D above E). Some girls may get dropped from more than one, you can end up going back to both D and E if it fills their schedule. Some girls maybe get dropped from even more and end up preffing only at A, or even only at D or E which they tried to drop.

Even if you get invited back to houses you maybe didn't click with at first, give them a chance, be has that obviously saw something in you that they liked enough to bring back, and that means a lot. Keep your mind open and you'll definitely run home to a great sorority on bid day.
