It was ugly to say the least. The other sorority said they would not release her, and she ended up depledging and never even going greek. The whole time at bid day, she sat with us and cried and didn't even join in the bid day pictures. It wasn't a fun situation, but there isn't much you can do.

This irritates the hell out of me.
how can you force a girl to sign a bid card at the end of preference? how many girls put ABC as first choice just because that was the last party they were at and the most fresh in their mind? What happens if the girl goes how and sleeps on it and decides "I really should have picked XYZ". I dont understand why girls cant get multiple bids, and then they accept the one they want. Yeah, I KNOW, dont freakin bash me, I dont understand how it works at big schools, but I just KNOW that there are always goingt obe situations where girls put one group as 1st or second for the wrong reason and after really reflecting and giving it thought, changing their minds, and being forced to go somewhere other than where their heart really was.
Somebody is going to say that the reason is to prevent dirty rushing, and girls from XYZ calling her that night and trying to influence her, etc etc etc. It doesnt matter. if 3 different sororities want her, then 3 different sororities should be able to invite her. And quota should be implemented in a way that each sorority can ONLY give the quota number of bids. THEN, after thats all said and done, chapters who didnt receive quota can go back and snap bid.
okay, so maybe I'm dellusional. Sounds like a good plan to me anyway....
Please dont attack me! I've already said I dont know EXACTLY how it works at each campus...maybe my idea is like communism - sounds like a good idea on paper but in practice doesnt actually work.
