That's crazy!!! If that's the case, why bother even having the chapter vote on the girls after pref? And, for that matter, why wouldn't all PNM's only put down their first choice if they knew they'd get into that sorority regardless?? How can they have that rule?

BrownEyedGirl, you make some excellent points. The way recruitment is set up at USC, it does not help the groups that need to COB or snap bid. I actually think that this 'guaranteed bid' business does not foster Panhellinic development as a whole and contributed to Kappa Alpha Theta closing in the fall 2001. Why another NPC group would want to come to this campus in light of this, and the fact that we're each building $1 million houses, is beyond me.
Also, my experience has been that a colonizing group needs mismatched women to assist them with recruitment. Where is a new group at USC going to find the women when they don't have a good base to start with? Although I don't like mismatches, it prevents the system from getting out of whack like ours is here.
Just my two cents!
