This thread is not quite accurate. There is the same number of spots in 'top' houses as in other houses. The size of new member classes is not a predetermined number before rush and quota is the same for everyone. The difference is that stronger recruiting houses are forced to make larger cuts in the early rounds, cuts that they would make anyway. Forcing these inevitable cuts to come sooner in the process prevents pnm's from being strung along without really having a chance, and allows them to focus on other houses where they are likely to get a bid. It used to be that houses could invite back as many as they wanted all week long and the pnm's did the cutting. It was a disaster because right before prefs all those pnm's that were always going to get cut from certain houses got dropped. These girls didn't have a clue that this was going to happen and so they were dropping houses all week long and then ended up with absolutely nothing come prefs. By letting them understand what's what ahead of time, they can focus where they have a chance. And just because a 'top' house drops you it doesn't mean that there is a thing wrong with you - it's just a numbers game and don't take it personally.
