pref round

I preffed Kappa/KD/Pi Phi

I went to pi phi, ddd, and alpha phi, my best friend (we are really similar looks scale and personality wise) went to dg, fuzz, and aopi... It's honeslt all over the place and the groupings up there are pretty close to normal

Yeah I preffed DDD, Theta, and AOPi, and I honestly probably would have been happy in any of the three.

Do you mean the one that is not in the "top tier". I wouldn't consider AGD lowest by any mean.

DDD is regarded as the best sorority not in the "big 6." It's about on par with KD, but doesn't hang out with the top fraternities as much. They're more likely to hang out with upper middle frats like Pike, Kappa Sig, etc

they probably cross-pref the most reliably with top tier houses, but then when bid day comes while they still have great girls plenty of them end up in the top tier houses instead

if you have 5 pnms with ddd and they pref like this:

1) kappa, kd, ddd
2) alpha phi, dg, ddd
3) ddd, theta, xo
4) pi phi, ddd, agd
5) theta, ddd, kd

The 1,2, and 5 girl will like 75% end up in one "top tier" houses, either because she wants the recognition on being "top tier" or just genuinely likes it better
Then when you look at pnms 3 & 4, they might not be as qualified for the top tier, so either the top tier wont put them high on their bid list so theyll end up at ddd, or being "top tier" wasnt as important to them so theyll pick ddd

Yeah, I think DDD ends up getting the girls that typically cross pref with other mid tier or lower mid tier chapters.

I would say that most girls are asked back to 2 or 3 houses for pref. If you only have two, but they're good houses, don't freak out. I had a friend who was only asked back to KD & AXiD, but she liked both of them so it wasn't a big deal. Some people get asked back to 3 but they all suck... ie. those who only have one good house and then DZ and AOpi as their other options usually end up suiciding the better house (only putting that one down on their bid card) or just dropping out of recruitment altogether

I had 3, so did many others. The girls I knew that had 1 or 2 were not necessarily cut hard early on. They were picking the top houses but when it came to the very end, the top cut them before pref. It's hard to predict since RFM makes things real fickle. Houses with historically high return rates are not permitted to invite as many girls back as those that traditionally have lower return rates. That's why you see so many girls returning to lower houses. If you are cut, it's not that we don't like you, it's more of we like other girls better.

I only got asked back to Alpha phi and XO. But I only wrote down four so I didn't get asked back to two
