I just finished reading this article and when I Googled it to look for more information I found that a thread had been started on it in Greekchat (albeit more than a decade ago).

I have a question for the ladies who have participated in bid matching. This statement is from the article; is it accurate?

"The most striking feature of the data is the high percentage of rushees who chose to list only one sorority on their preference card. This is particularly striking in view of the fact that this practice is explicitly discouraged. Of the twenty one rushes observed on four campuses, there were only three in which the number of rushees suiciding was less than 50% of those who submitted bid cards. Even on campuses C and D, which each have a dozen or more sororiities active in formal rush, relatively few rushees list more than two sororities on their preference cards."

I had always thought that suiciding happened rather rarely.
