Numbers.

Remember, the typical pledge class is around 135 girls and more than 2000 girls are involved in recruitment. There are a few broadly appealing houses that “everyone” wants. But there are also a number of love/hate houses - that some girls really love and want although many others are turned off. So back to the numbers. With 2000 girls in recruitment if just 25 percent fall in love with a house you have 500 girls wanting a spot in a pledge class with 135 openings. Doesn’t matter that a notable majority of girls aren’t interested it’s going to feel really competitive amongst the twenty five percent or 500 who really are. By comparisons there are houses that “run together” and give more of a “I’d be okay there” vibe. People end up “happy” in those houses although they may have been more ambivalent amongst the group and if they landed there or in four or five other similar houses. In general, if sub these are described as the “nice” houses, because they do attract girls with fewer strong feelings/opinions who are content. Think the Op does a decent job of separating the broad appeal (top); from the more limited bit stronger appeal and competitive (second); to the I’ll take one or the other third and fourth. Personally, I’d definitely move XO and KD down a level. May move PM up - still believe many just want to see how far they can get with them. And Definitely APhi up, they epitomize the point of more than enough girls to make getting a bid competitor although there are also many who aren’t interested. \n\n\n\n\n
