Idk if I agree that people picked chi o because they didn’t think they would get aphi or kappa. The numbers don’t support this theory completely. There was a lot of cross between aphi and chio but not so much between kappa and chio. There was a lot of cross amongst all three though. Going into pref many that had chio and aphi then ranked chio 1 and aphi 2. There was a reason for this and it wasn’t that they didn’t think they wouldn’t get aphi. Something was up with the way Aphi zoomed and connected. Kappa seemed to want a very specific person too this year and there was definitely overlap with chio and aphi going into pref but I think what happened is that with this combo that pnm ranked kappa 1 and either aphi or chio 2. But this year chio did well going into pref and was working mainly off its 1 list vs aphi which was working off 1 and 2 list. Without doing more research my sense is that kappa pulled from its 1 and 2 list as well but pulled more 1’s vs aphi, which is why things ended up the way they did. This year PNMs liked what they experienced from chio and many people talked about the energy coming from chio via zoom vs either aphi or kappa. Don’t get me wrong, these are all fine houses as are the rest of the houses here. But, chio did something right that connected with PNMs via zoom and I think people ranked them 1 vs 2 going into pref because they wanted them and not because they didn’t think they would get aphi or kappa. This is a simplified explanation as dz was part of the mix too. But the big story I think was chio this year. Energy and vibe across the board seemed to rule the day in all the houses that had super recruitment results.
