No, it doesn’t. Every effort in Bid Matching is made to place PNM’s with their #1 choice ->> 70-80% of PNM’s will get their #1 choices. The difference now vs 20 years ago is that QA’s are now used. Before RFM, if both houses made quota before your name came up, you didn’t get a bid. No guarantee. It was called getting “cross cut” and it happened all the time. Also before RFM, the chapters weren’t told how many PNM’s to cut every day. So Kappa, Tri Delt, XO, ZTA - the big ones back then would carry tons of girls to sisterhood and then drop 80% of them the morning of Pref. Since pnms thought they were having a “perfect rush”, they had long dropped the lower & mid tier houses and would all of a sudden be left with nothing the morning of Pref. I can still hear the crying screams from my dorm room in the Commons :( Or if you somehow kept getting invited back to the low tier houses, your bid was to AGD or Phi Mu (dating myself here - but both of whom had LITERALLY less than 10-15 new members in their last few pledge classes when quota was 65-75 range) because so many PNM’s would literally reject the bid. So be freaking glad that even if you end up in a “low tier” chapter now….you’re starting with a gorgeous, talented pledge class of 50++ girls in a chapter that has a great national reputation - and a house!! Y’all would have cried like babies to see what the “Lower tier” houses were like in the 1990’s and early 2000’s….no houses, tiny budgets, members who were proud to be “anti-sorority girl”, etc. Trust me, this process is SO MUCH BETTER! Not perfect, but soooo much better.
