percentage dropped after iwt

500-600 per house

Every house is different and has a number of pnms that they can invite back assigned to them based on past year's return rates. So if lots of pnms usually wanted to go back to certain chapters, they have a high return and have to make deeper cuts. A lot of chapters will have to cut from 1200 to 1400 or even more after IWTs.

My chapter cut just over 1200 girls, but we also have a 99% return rate from IWT to philanthropy.

PNMs need to read this and think about it. Houses are cutting hundreds to a thousand girls after the first round. It. is. not. personal. The houses aren't thinking, "dang this girl is weird lets cut her." They are thinking "holy crap there are so many amazing girls coming through how do we pick who to invite back???" and they have to look at things like grades, resumes, connections, recs, etc. to decide who comes back and who doesn't. If you were dropped by a house(s), stop focusing on them and focus on the houses who DID invite you back. They are all that matters now.
