We had package deals in COR, but they were never adamant about having to join with the other person. Like, Girl A would mention that Girl B was her roommate, but she never said anything like "I won't take a bid if you don't bid my friend." Luckily, we liked both people in most cases. There was one package deal situation (roommates) in which we only bid one. The girl we bid was a little disappointed that her roomie didn't get a bid, but not to the point of declining hers.

Interesting observation re: package deal friendships:

Murphy's Law states that unless the Package Deal are relatives (sisters or something,) the Package Deal NEVER remains BFFs once they both join. I've seen situations where Package Deal Girls join as freshmen, are attached at the hip for the ENTIRE year, agree to move in together, etc. Then sophomore year comes, they move in together, drama occurs, then the Package no longer speaks. lol.

It's not always that extreme. A lot of times, the Package = freshman year friends/roommates/etc. and they just grow up and find new friend groups within the chapter.
