Hey Fuzzie! I understand where you are coming from. But I also believe that the option of going suicide (did I spell that right?) during formal rush should still be made available. I know my bid card only said Alpha Xi - and this is because I knew they were they only ones for me. I don't think a girl should have to put a second or third choice down if they really don't want that sorority. When they sign that bid card it is a "contract" that is good for a year. If they don't match with their first choice and then get a bid from their second or third choice and decide not to pick it up, they are possibly taking a spot from a girl who really wanted that sorority (you know the whole quota thing). Then that bid is the only one she can pick up for a whole year because she signed her bid card that way.
I really hope I am making sense. I'm not sure if this is how it works at other schools but it does at my alma mater. I just think rushees should be fully informed of all of their options. Things such as snap bidding and COB. That way they know their options when they make such a serious decision as signing a bid card.
Hope all that is clear as mud! Ha!
Stay Alpha Xi Delta Proud!
Xi Love,
Brooke
