I have to disagree that everyone, male or female, deserves a bid.
What about a potential member who sells crack to babies and beats up his or her mom? I can't think of any GLO whose ideals this potential member would fit. If this person wants to go and start their own GLO, so be it, but I wouldn't wish them on any sorority, not even my biggest rival. And there are people like that going through rush - or on a less frightening level, people who have a 1.3 GPA. Or who never bathe. While the human yearning for friendship is universal, part of a GLO's mission is to seek the best. Every GLO interprets that differently, but there are some commonalities - no chapter is seeking dirty people who are flunking out.
That said, Firehouse is right on ... and formal rush has most of the same effects on the sororities, too. I'm come to the opinion there is no ideal system.
