That's because situations like that shouldn't happen. If Sherry gets a week, Susie gets a week. You don't offer a bid to someone you don't want as a sister, and if Susie asks for an extra couple of days to decide because she wants to talk to her parents and they're on vacation, or wants to hear back about a part-time job, or wants to get a major exam behind her before she decides - she should get the time she needs, just like Sherry did. Especially if she was caught off guard by the bid, which can happen with COB. Although we did sometimes "encourage" biddees to make a decision sooner rather than later, so that they could catch up and be initiated with the current NM class rather than have to wait.
