It sounds to me that there are some serious problems with Panhel and the G.A. at UGA. I had the pleasure of sitting in on bid matching as an advisor, which was highly instructive. Everything went quite smoothly, the lists were kicked out of the system with quota set at 24. 4 out of the 7 chapters hit quota, but then there were somewhere between 12-15 girls who got kicked out of the system as non-matches. (This number may sound small but we started with only 350-400 girls signed up, of which only 250-300 actually came to rush, and then about a third more dropped out after getting cut/etc. There were serious losses after 3rd.) So anyway, at this point a lot of schools would have said "Ok, we have our lists, let's call it a night" and those girls would have just not received bids. Fortunately we have a very pro-active GA who asked us to consider trying to place these girls, reminding us that NPC allows for quota additions. So we all agreed and we were able to place all but one girl........and she was a suicide so she knew it was a possibility (and she can still COB.) There were actually 3 suicides, 2 of which were placed. A couple of the girls who did not get picked up by any of the chapters they preffed were instantly offered snap bids by the 3 smaller chapters. It worked out great. And I am thrilled to say that Chi Omega has a pledge class of 29 fantastic, top-quality women!!!!!!!
BTW, is there a Chi O chapter at UGA? Just curious.........
