When I went through rush at the University of Alberta, in Canada. The way that it was stated is that every girl who rushed was offered a bid to one of the three fraternities. We still had preference and the chapter voted. It didn't mean that each girl ended up with their choice and it was up to them if they accepted. It did not go against the panhel rules if they decided not to go anywhere. I am not sure what they did in the situation if a girl is dropped by all of the fraternities but I am pretty sure that they have rules to guard against it, because I do not know of anyone who was not offered a bid. Please take into account that this was the early 90's and now there are 4 women's fraternities on campus but I am pretty sure that the rules are the same. I would assume that these are the types of rules that your school would like. To tell you the truth, I was much older than I was in university before I realized that not everone got in and there was a lot of competition. That's what I get for living in Canada I guess! I think that the rules partially exist due to low numbers, my pledge class was 22 and that was about 1/3 of the girls who rushed, out of a school of over 30,000.
