as a Rho Chi this year, it was really heartbreaking to see the reactions of some of the girls when they got their invites. SOme girls got invited to houses that were more "Selective" and went happily. Others were dismayed that they only had 2 or 3 invitations, where at least one girl in our group had an invite to all 6 houses after open house and 4 invites to final parties (that's the most you can get). But in the end, I think that girl may have ended up signing independent....and I know most of the girls who got 1 or 2 bids ended up getting their number 1 and are now actives. At the same time, I was really insulted when girls said to me, "pssh, Tau Delta, Why did they invite me back? they're the smallest on campus". And they immediately cut us (at the time it was me and that felt really bad, but you can't just say "HEY! That's not nice"). But we thrive on that attitude...the girls that we end up with CHOSE to be there, THEY chose, not us. It may mean not making quota, but we're OK with that.
