At Otterbein, if you didn't match, you recieve a phone call that night. No phone call before 5, you've recieved a bid. So Monday all girls have a meeting with their Rho Chi's to recieve their bids. That was the best day of my Rho Chi period. So many jumping and screaming girls in the campus center...but I was just remembering how great it felt to get my bid. But I think I lost 10 lbs wearing my letter tshirt and letter hoodie underneath another hoodie and zipped up under a parka so I could reveal myself. Everyone who was coming into the CC for dinner thought I was NUTS...or really fat.

The problem with this system is that it creates a REALLY long silent period. From the last recrutiment party to the closing ceremony, there's NO interaction between PNMs and actives. It was really hard for me to draw the line because as a PX I was allowed to go to our final round and wear my pin/be part of the action, but not allowed to vote...and there were several girls in my group who I KEPT SEEING the next day, and I could only wave and smile, even though I was going NUTS saying HOLY CRAP I CANT WAIT TILL YOU"RE A DELTA! or PUT US FIRST PUT US FIRST PUT US FIRST in my mind.
