At some point you have to ask what's more important -- making every PNM happy or strengthening the overall sisterhood. Forcing groups to take PNMs they never really wanted isn't the solution!

Speaking as a non-Greek, I fully understand and sympathize with girls who either get bids to houses they're not happy with or, as in my case, don't get bids at all. But by definition sorority membership is exclusive, so we have to expect that not everyone "gets in". Would I have benefited from a system like Tufts'? Of course...but who wants to belong to a group where you know the only reason you're there is because the other members were forced to admit you? No thanks!
