But people get confused because almost no one cuts KD and ChiO. People might say they do , but if those houses cut them too, it doesn't count as the PNM cutting the house. Recruitment is a very interesting in terms of statistics and how it is actually run. You can look into release figure methodology if you are interested. You will hear the phrase "return rates" for houses. Houses ask a certain number of girls back for a round, and the percentage that actually come back is part of their return rates. Top houses have very very high return rates. The girls that they want to come back almost always come back. Where the dilemma comes in (on this website at least) is that sometimes certain houses have higher return rates than people feel that they are "ranked." For example, people on this website constantly say that Kappa doesn't do anything, so they shouldn't be ranked high. Alpha Phi is new so they shouldn't move up. But if these houses get back a higher percentage of girls that they want to return, they may (emphasis on the may) have a higher return rate than other houses. Sometimes certain houses rush better or worse than they normally do, and it makes girls in the other houses feel good or bad. Therefore, the girls during rush might be saying that they all thought KD and ChiO was snobby and that they cut them, but the reality is that the houses probably cut them first. Rankings are dumb because the same girl who would LOVE to be in a certain house might struggle to find friends in another house, regardless of rank. Therefore, you should reallyyyy just go into rush with an open mind and give every house a fair chance. :) Finally, the houses I used in examples are commonly discussed on GreekRank. I could have also used PiPhi or DZ or any of the other commonly discussed houses.
