A sister told her that many were cut during that formal rush due to the new computers used to issue invitations.

So, this explanation made her feel better.

Does anyone know if this happened when computers came onto campuses?
(current sisters please don't laugh these days did used to exist)

This is largely a myth.

ICS/CampusDirector doesn't magically glitch and cut women, nor did it back then. I was active in the early ICS era.

There were some people who got cut really on due to the new RFM at that time, and they blamed it on a glitch in the system because that's easier than to admit that you were cut by XYZ.

Ex: If I got cut by Sigma, it's easier for me to just lie and say "I would have gotten a bid but ICS erased my invite."
