I'm probably gonna step on some toes with this comment, but I think every girl should get as many bids as chapters want her - just like your informal process. I think it's stupid to do bid matching. If 4 sororities want that girl - then all 4 should give her a bid - then she should be able to accept the one she wants. I think it's ridiculous that a girl should have to make an emotional decision and rank the sororities right after preference and go from there. SOmetimes you just need to sleep on it. ANd I realize that some people are going to say that friends and sorority members would probably try to continue to "dirty rush" that PNM up until bid day morning....but if you can do it during informal, then why does formal HAVE to be so structured?

Yes, I know, it's a campus thing. But still. As we all know, there are alot of broken hearts due to mismatching and technicalities, this that and the other and I think multiple bids and the PNM making the decision on the one she wanted, based on the sororities who also wanted her would be a much better solution.
