There is still technically a spot for every PNM who goes to preference. Every PNM who finishes recruitment and maximizes her options is guaranteed a bid - somewhere. Thus, If PNM numbers keep growing, pledge classes will keep getting larger. The SEC schools mentioned above have huge pledge classes. The facts that the system forces top chapters to make huge cuts up front (true) and limits a good number of girls to chapters they don't particularly want (true) is just the way it works. That is truly unfortunate for girls who do not like their options, but works well for others who join chapters they might have ignored otherwise, have a great greek experience, and make those chapters stronger. 5-6 UT chapters have benefitted greatly from this system and have moved from the so called "bottom to middle" group or from "middle to top" since RFM was installed. 1-2 chapters still struggle, partly due to the bad PNM experiences described by posters above. No matter what the school, nobody is cut because there isn't a spot anywhere- UT's recruitment and cut numbers do not work any differently from any other schools. They all follow national Panhellenic rules. Now, the resulting issue of huge pledge classes and outgrowing the houses is a totally different problem that will be really hard to solve at UT due to the location of the village. An unequally housed colony will always struggle and that will be a hard sell for any national organization.
