Yeah, it isnt very common anymore, but back when I was a freshman/soph, it would happen a lot. Some fraternities on campus would only give out bids at the end of formal rush, and if you didn't come to every event or party or whatever, you were less likely to get a bid. I'm not sure about UGA, but at Auburn most of the bidding is now done way before formal rush, often at parties or beach events over the summer. Thus, it makes suicide rushing much more unlikely, as most fraternities have their pledge class going into formal rush. But regarding that, I guess my point was not to shut off all your other options by just focusing on one or two. Keep your backups open.
