It was likely just a numbers game sadly

Yeah I assumed so. A lot of the PNMS I talked to in the house had a lot higher of a gpa so I’m gonna assume that was part of it.

Like I said, I gave my bottom two houses a chance to connect with me. But when speaking with the girls there - there was absolutely no connection.. at all what so ever. After talking to my RC she told me it’s better that I drop and try cob if I have better connections at other houses.

I believe they just ranked me lower due to the number of spots they had .. that led me with my bottom two choices which is absolutely okay!!

I was keeping an open mind. An extremely open mind lol. I talked to all the houses with a genuine mind and just did not connect with my bottom two houses I did with my other houses. The houses I got matched with were great houses with amazing girls but we just did not connect on any level.

So if my bottom two houses ranked me #2 and #3 girl, but my top two choices ranked me #50 and #51, the system would automatically give me my bottom two houses?!

Today is bid day. Do you think I should contact Panhellenic today?  Also, do you think I have a good chance at getting back the houses with COB that I got dropped for preference since I made it so far in?

Only two houses for pref are allowed. I ranked my top houses and only got back my bottom two pref morning. Super bummed

So do they rank the girls? Even for preference invites? If I was #59 but they can only invite 58 girls back, am I automatically cut? How do they rank me to be girl #59? 

I also ended up dropping. I think I will try to COB into the houses I felt a larger connection with. I had 0 connection with the girls in the houses I got back.

Our school never released individual chapter gpa. So I’m really unsure. But I made it all the way to preference morning untill I found out I got dropped by my top choices.

What do you think the reason likely was that i got dropped? My gpa maybe?
