I bet some of y'all remember that 5 years ago, a PNM here told us that at her school on Bid Day, all the PNMs joined hands and stood in a circle with their eyes shut. Then the Rho Chis would come and tap the shoulders of those who didn't get bids and they had to leave the circle. When you were told to open your eyes, only the people remaining had bids.
I know they don't do it that way now, one of my daughter goes there, but I was just slack-jawed with shock when I heard it.
