This is a good assessment about risk-taking for going after Big-6 type girls. You're totally right that APhi seems very bold about this! My (real) big sister roomed with an Alpha Phi two years ago who was on their recruitment team and she said they tried to get a healthy mix of girls who cried on bid day! She was like "what???" And the A Phi clarified that of course they want girls who are happy to be there, but they also want at least 20-30 who are teary-eyed and disappointed that they didn't get Big 6 because it means they were cross preffing with them. They don't care if they don't win them--just that they GET them in the end. Because it pushes their house to become more competitive the next year with houses who are also filled with Big6 girls from Big6 high schools. Tri-Delt is going the other way. They are second-guessing and releasing girls who MIGHT choose PKT instead of them. And Alpha Chi does this too. They let their ego get in the way and go after girls who will be THRILLED with Alpha Chi, which is cool...but doesn't make them competitive over time.
