I'm tired of hearing all the negative. Sounds to me like unless "all get a bid" it's not going to be fair to the moms. There's nothing special about some thing that everyone can just get. If that's how Alabama does it then it must not be all that special to be in a house and I question how close a "house" of 200 women could be if they take these enormous pledge classes. Furthermore, if there's anyone out there that would think an IU cheerleader would not have a better chance of getting a bid to a house regardless of being present, is living in a dream world. Activities/ resume matter and that will gain big points for houses recruiting girls. I get parents hurt for their kids, but much of what I'm reading is the mentality of "everyone should get a trophy and everyone should get a prize and everyone should win" which is proving to be not very real-world. Lots of competition out there...not everyone is going to get in. That doesn't make the process unfair, it makes it competitive.

Thank you for informing most of the women on this forum that there sorority experience wasn't special because their college made a practice of finding a home for most young women who wanted to participate.
