The latter being why it's best to play your cards close to your vest regarding your preferred chapters.
This is the reason why, tradition though it may be, I'm really not a fan of these large public bid-acceptance fests. At least when it's just 3 or 4 ABC sisters coming to your own private room, you can have a moment or two (or ten) to close the door, wipe the shock off your face, and cry if you need to - the sisters will understand.

I completely agree. We had a more private bid acceptance process. It wasn't enough for some girls at times, but even then, each sorority had their own private area to accept their new members that no one was privy to. When the NM I was discussing came down the hall, I just put my arm through hers and led her to my dorm room and had a quick chat with her, gave her a hug and took her to the bathroom to freshen up. We were able to get back to the event in under 10 minutes. She kept it together for the rest of the day. Trust me...everyone knew what the deal was.
