I think the system of offering one bid is terrific -- just like the system of ranking houses after each party rather than choosing from among invitations. I see the fact that women have to be cut as an unavoidable evil of the sorority system. The less emphasis the system places on the "popularity" aspect of rush, the better. How will a PNM feel when she gets two pref invites and her friend gets six? She may feel that no one likes her and she might as well drop out now. Since they can only attend two, let them rank in advance and then told which two they should attend. Same goes for bids. The return results should be exactly the same, but there will be fewer hurt feelings.
