[QUOTE=DubaiSis;2305413]And I'm sure the various sorority headquarters have had plenty of words about this. But it's got to be pretty hard to command change from on high when all of the chapters at IU are very successful and among the largest chapters in the fold. The risk of that phenomenal success may be worth the couple weeks of horrendous PR they get following bid day. Do I wish they'd ease up on the housing issues? Yes. But is there strong reason to maintain status quo? Also yes.
Gosh, I hope they are worried about more than PR. If they live up to their own stated values, they should be more concerned about how this system affects the self esteem of the young women involved. My daughter's chapter at IU is by far the most successful chapter in the country for her sorority. The national advisor stated to her that the national org is in favor of dumping bed quota. Somehow, though, it never get done. I suspect that most nationals approve of getting rid of this system as well. There are rumors that next year will be different; hopefully they are true.
