Well said IndianaSigKap. There is no such thing as cross cut-a myth perpetuated year in and out by campus gossip.

A PNM attends 3 pref parties:A, B, and C. She lists them on her bid card in that order of preference. She ends up with a bid from C. She thinks she has been cross cut. What has happened is that she was on the bid lists of all three sororities. The computer runs her choices trying to match her to her first choice A, but she is number 101 on their list and they fill to quota when they hit 50. The computer then tries to match her with her second choice, but she is 51 on their list and they match to all 50 girls before her, so the computer goes to her third choice C. She is 9th on their list so she matches with them and is a new member of C. Sorority C will have no idea they were not her first choice, unless she arrives in tears and let's them know in her actions that she doesn't want to be there.
