I guess I can see how Rushbiddies would help, say, for Northern girls going to competitive Southern schools who have no idea what to expect and no other resources such as an alumnae panhellenic or GC to help them, but that's clearly not the group Rushbiddies is catering to. I knew nothing about Greek Life coming in to Clemson as a freshman, and had I decided to rush then it probably would not have gone very well for me. My APH is brand-new and has not responded to my attempts to contact them, but I'm going to venture that those in Alabama are a little more prepared for the recruitment wringer that is Bama recruitment.

I can't even imagine how they could guarantee every single PNM a successful recruitment, especially since the concept of a successful recruitment is super subjective. Girls who only want to pledge a "top chapter" and will drop out of recruitment entirely if that one chapter drops them would demand their money back and call their recruitment a failure, while other girls would be thrilled to get a bid from any chapter at all. I imagine the Rushbiddies guarantees would be more vague, along the lines of "you will be better prepared with us than you would be otherwise", but some people will hear only what they want to.

And that website is killing me with its terribleness. It's not eye-searing, but it is brain-breaking.
