I see the statement often focused around why pnms are cut that chapters have to make tough decisions and sometimes cuts are only due to numbers. Can anyone help clarify what that means and how it plays out each round? To start, I thought there were ~2,250 pnms. Can you assume that panhellenic attempts to place every pnm at a house? 2,250 pnms / 12 houses = 187.5 pnm per house. Will each house take the same number of girls? If not, what is the range? Thinking about philanthropy round, assuming about 35 girls per round (some houses have more...) and 12 parties per day for three days: 35x12x3 = 1,260 pnms can be seen at each chapter. What about sisterhood? round? Are there less parties and therefore fewer pnms that can be seen by each house? It seems that would have to be the case but it isn't clear. Really curious about pref rounds. If there are ~185 expected in a pledge class, how will the numbers work at the pref rounds? If a pnm has one party, they are guaranteed a bid if the pnm ranks the chapter? If a pnm has 2 parties, they are guaranteed a bid from one? How many pnms are invited to each pref party? Any information would be helpful, thanks.
