I have to preface my question with the statement that since I am an alumnae initiate from 2005, I've never been on the collegiate side of formal recruitment and the chapter I advise does a partially structured recruitment, which majorly differers from what I know of formal at other schools.
I'm not trying to get into the specifics of the MS process, but when it comes to the bid lists that are turned into the school, is it a usual practice that the lists are done in alphabetical order? I can see how this should not effect "Suzie Creamcheese" the PNM, on the ABC sororitiy's first bid list, but what about "Stacey Xylophone" who is on ABC's second list? Are her chances of recieving a bid from ABC dramatically reduced when they move to thier second bid list, just because her name starts with a letter that is further down the alphabet? Would this put the PNM "Julie Anderson" who is also on the 2nd list, at a better advantage because of her last name, as all the spots may be filled before they had the chance to get to "Stacey Xylophone", who they like just as much.
Please correct me if I am getting this wrong, I am just trying to better familiarize myself with how the process works at other schools...Thanks for your help in advance!
