If all those girls accept their bid then number 21 on my list is out of luck. It's mutual selection, I have to want her and I want her to want me. All this talk about "everyone should get a bid" makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to me. If everyone could join whatever house they wanted what would be the point in bids or even Recruitment for that matter?

Amen.
I don't care if quota was 50 and we had 10...if we were asked by Panhel to reconsider a girl we had previously dropped I think I would tell them to go poop in their hat.
That's not being Panhellenic, that's being condescending to the girl in question and INCREDIBLY condescending to the sorority who gets the "oh poor XYZ doesn't have enough members, they will take anything" treatment.
Now if down the road the girl re-rushes or goes to COB events and we like her then, that's a different matter. That's our idea, not Panhel's.
