<strong>Subject:</strong><br />pref advice for pnms<br /><br /> Poster Message:
Listen up ladies. I want to explain how pref works so there is no confusion about invites/cuts. I first want to say that even if you get two houses you HATE for pref, you should still go to their pref parties. You’re not obligated to rank them afterwards or sign anything. You can drop out after the parties and still be eligible for COB. (But if you rank them and sign your pref card you will be ineligible for other bids for a year.) And in that case, you should accept your bid and stick it out up until initiation. If you still hate it, you can drop before initiated. But once you have your bid, you can’t rush or COB for another year anyway so you may as well give your house a shot. Now onto how the numbers work. First of all, quota is determined by # of girls who are invited to at least 1 pref party divided by 12 (the number of houses.) The cuts going into pref can be brutal. Because whoever a house invites back to pref is somewhere on the bid list. The house has to absolutely be willing to extend them a bid if they come to pref. However, all houses invite more pnms to pref than they can extend bids to. Each house has a bid list with EVERY pnm that came to their pref party. Yes, every one of them is on the bid list. However, WHERE you on the bid list will determine where you get a bid. (continued in comments...)
