so many girls crying this morning
by: SadThis wasn't even the biggest round of cuts, right? That comes after Sisterhood day? We're all a nervous wreck. Hoping everyone can find peace with their invite list.

The "top" houses cut lots and lots of girls after IWTs because their retention rates from round-to-round are so high. I imagine a lot of girls thought they had a bigger shot at those houses than they actually did, because the top houses are so good at making everyone feel welcome.

Being "cut" from a house doesn't mean the house didn't like you. It just means they liked a lot of other girls more than they liked you. Think about how some PNM's have friends in the houses to begin with, have better conversation skills, are prettier than you, are legacies to houses you're not a legacy to, have higher GPA's, and have more to contribute to the sorority. Even if one girl you talked to loves you and wants you in the chapter, if the rest of the sorority doesn't rate you well you're not going back.

Cuts after IWT can be brutal in particular for the "in demand" houses that have a lot of legacies. This is because they have a low quota on how many they should bring back to philanthropy and so much of that quota is taken up with legacies they are obligated to carry through the second round. So if you are totally unconnected to an OR or top of NR house and you still have them, you are likely to make it to sisterhood because the main OR cuts after philanthropy are the legacies and pnms carried at least to second round as a courtesy for various purposes.

cuts after iwt also are for reputation, pnms that have sitting legacies (some houses basically just drop pnms that have a sitting sister in another house, while other houses don't care) and grades.

Lots of girls will be cut EVERY round. Next biggest cut though will be heading into pref.
Houses only invite girls to pref IF they can actually see and want her to be a sister.

tbh a lot of girls cry in a lot of different houses because of the philanthropy stuff. i know i started tearing up in the house I'm currently in on philanthropy. i also got a little teary eyed in a few others during philanthropy. a lot of girls actually have strong connections with some of the philanthropies here.

One reason they are "top" is that they are good at rush. So yea, that means they are masters at the short conversation and making PNMs feel welcome.
Plenty of other good choices and you can only pledge one!
