I think it is a complete travesty that a rushee can go to two or three pref parties and then actually not get a bid. I think if a rushee has gone to all possible invites all week and does not suicide then she should be guaranteed a bid from a pref house even if that house goes over quota. This is only fair. And you all know what is said and the feelings that are conveyed at pref parties. The sentimental and traditional ceremonies that go on that night are beautiful and every rushee at those parties feels very close to those sisters. I can not imagine a situation where a girl then does not get a bid the next day from one of those houses. We can fix this. Every panhell can adopt this as a rule on every campus. Also, there is no reason why panhell can be more interactive during the week with girls who might get dropped out of rush. Every night get a computer report of who has no bids and then hit the phones. Call back the houses that dropped her from that day and offer them this girl as a freebee to their numbers if they have her back. If this doesn't work, call back houses that she most recently dropped to get a reinvite. She may now go to this house. In the end I think more houses will get quota and more girls will pledge and be happy.
