This is how the algorithm works... The first thing to understand is that the sororities are doing the choosing. It is their ranks of the pnm's that is driving the algorithm and determines who gets invited back and who doesn't, not the pnm's ranks of the sororities. Each sorority is given, by panhellenic, the max number of pnm's they can invite back each round. They cannot go over that number by a single pnm. The chapter generates their ranked list of pnm's every round and the pnm's that fall above their cutoff number get invited back. It doesn't matter how high you rank a chapter, where you fall within their rank of pnm's is the determining factor of getting invited back or not. BTW the sororities never see the pnm's ranks of them at any point so they don't use that when ranking pnm's. Pnm's don't 'drop' chapters, they only rank them. The algorithm is going to give you as many chapters back for a round as possible, which will include chapters you rank low. Your ranks of the sororities don't come into play unless more sororities would invite you back than a round allows. In that case your lower ranked chapters would drop off your schedule. Otherwise, you will continue to go back to chapters with as full a schedule as possible and give houses you didn't initially love a real chance. It is different for pref. Your ranks of your pref houses are given equal weight to the sororities' ranks of you during the bid matching process. Remember that f you don't get invited back it doesn't mean they didn't like you, or found something wrong with you, or that you screwed up, or that you were judged as not good enough, it's just about them having to stick to the allowed numbers. Don't take getting dropped personally. Hope this helps.
