This is a problem my campus faces due to rush being deferred to sophomore year. We had 26 women unmatched this year (many of whom were offered snap bids to the sororities who did not receive quota, and they declined because they weren't the ones that they had their hearts set upon) and 54 women dropped out of recruitment completely because they were released by their top choices. It's one of the downfalls of deferred recruitment. Also, sorry to be blunt, but I have no sympathy for the women who don't go through recruitment with an open mind and then complain because they didn't get bids from the places they wanted.

I tried to respond to this, but it was lost in cyberspace.

My question is how can panhel and individual, smaller sororities combat this single-minded (close minded) attitude that many of the PNMs have?
54 women dropping out of rush! My sorority didn't even have 54 sisters when we would return in the fall semester.
