We did update recruitment, honey. That's how the first round is now the videos instead of you having to go to every single house for what used to be called 'Ice Water Teas'. The first releases have always been decided before the first round and now you don't have to "waste time" going to houses where you "have zero chance". That's also how the second round is now not clogged up with legacies that "have zero chance". Their mandatory invitation to the first round is a thing of the past for almost every sorority, so they don't "waste time" as well, and many more spots are now freed up for the PNM's that a sorority is actually interested in. Maybe one like you. If you are invited back to Philanthropy and/or Sisterhood, it's because a sorority is still looking at you for possible membership, and not feeding you a "line of bull". You will find out if you have a further chance by your schedule for the next round. That's the way they let you know. And that's also how there aren't three Prefs anymore, because a third one was "a line of bull" for all concerned, and how there is Quota Plus to make sure that you won't end up without a bid after Prefs. A strictly rigid Quota and cross-cutting were real things that happened and there were no guarantees at all before Quota Plus, but now you are guaranteed a bid if you rank both your houses. An invitation to Pref only goes to PNM's that a sorority wants to extend bids to and the PNM's choices actually count in the membership selection. This is how you aren't going to "waste time" like others used to, but as a PNM you have no idea what your chances are at a house. Ask any sorority member who didn't know a soul and got her first choice, or any who just knew where they were getting their bid but ended up shocked, for good or bad. You are in no position to decide on behalf of the sororities where you have a chance any more than a single sorority member or a handful of them can make a decision for an entire chapter. Not getting exactly your way during recruitment is not panhellenic's fault or mean that recruitment is in "the dark ages". Your chances for a great recruitment have never, ever, been better.
