Okay, forgive me if this has already been explained in the previous gazillion pages, but I can't stop thinking about this.

How can a woman go to three preference parties and end up with no bid, assuming she lists all three? I know IU uses the bed system. I get that. Are the chapters inviting that many more women to preference than can possibly be taken? For example, someone mentioned Tri Delta up above having 25 spots for their pledge class. Is DDD having parties of 50-100 women for each preference party or something?

I really don't get it. I get the bed thing. But does the Panhellenic put no restrictions on how many women the chapters can invite to preference? As an outsider, this comes across as the ultimate in stringing women along.

Please correct me and tell me I'm wrong. I really want to be.
