Correct. Recruitment is not a sign up sheet where you pick the sorority you want, the sorority has to pick you first. The sororities are choosing their new members, not the other way around, so the sorority's ranks of the pnm's drive the algorithm. It doesn't matter how bad you want a certain house, if you're not ranked high enough by them to get to the next round then they are no longer a choice for you and you need to focus elsewhere. Your ranks of the sororities only matter if you make the cutoff for more chapters than you can visit. If that happens, the algorithm drops your lowest ranked chapters from your schedule. Otherwise, the algorithm doesn't allow pnm's to 'drop' sororities as long as you still have room in your schedule; you keep going back to as many as possible every round. The exception to this is bid matching after pref. In this round, the pnm's ranks of the chapters are equally as important as the chapters' ranks of the pnm's. Everyone invited to a chapter's pref is on the bid list somewhere. The bid matching algorithm does its best to match you to the chapter you put down as your first choice. This is why you should keep an open mind and don't take getting dropped by any chapter personally. It's a numbers game. Also know that there are plenty of sorority members who get VERY upset when they lose favorite pnm's because of the numbers. Everybody just has to suck up the disappointment, put a smile on her face, and keep going. It does work out believe it or not.
