The current system, used by NPC nationwide, is a huge win over the prior system, which cut many pnm's entirely out of the process due to an actual flawed system. In the old system, all pnm's could be invited back round after round no matter what. All sororities wanted as many pnm's as possible returning to their rush parties because it made them look highly desirable. They were not required to make their releases until right before pref, so pnm's that they ranked very low with no hope of a bid kept getting invited back and being led on for the sake of appearances. Meanwhile, the pnm's would be eliminating houses that wanted them but were not as strong at recruiting. Well, then came the pref round and all the required sororities’ drops, all at once. Pnm's had been dropping chapters where they were really wanted and had a real chance in favor of going back to houses where they never realized they were just invited for appearances. Dropped by all houses before pref. If those pnm's had any idea that they were never in the running for a bid, they could have concentrated on giving the ones that really wanted them a fair chance. They could have found their sisterhood. Pnm's DESERVE the COURTESY of getting released by a sorority as soon as it decides they aren't going to offer a bid. So that is why sororities are held accountable to make the choices at the beginning of rush instead of at the end and not mislead pnm's. In addition to releases being required early on, Quota Additions eliminates the other flaw in the old system. Used to be that Quota was IT, not one more. If a pnm had two pref houses and each filled up before she matched, she did not get a bid at all. All the way to pref with houses that were happy to have her and then no bid. It was called being Cross Cut. Awful. It is SO much better now; the sorority system is huge with far more pnm's getting bids and larger sorority memberships yearly.
