Not to diminish your experience, because it is 100% valid and I know many women who got to the end with a top house only to be disappointed, but all sororities use an algorithm called release figure management (RFM), so it’s not as personal or as manipulative as you might think. The way it works is the houses who have the highest return rates (because they are the more popular houses) actually have to cut the highest number of pnms during each round, because so few pnms are dropping them. Where it gets tricky is at the preference round. Those top ranked houses have such a high percentage of pnms listing them as their #1 house for bid day that they rarely have to go down to their “B” list in their rankings for bids. So what happens is that many women who get to preference round with these top houses don’t end up with a bid from them and it feels like they got slighted. Please keep in mind that if you get to preference round with any house, they really like you, it’s just a matter of numbers as to whether you actually get a bid to their house.
