The "multiple bid" method can be hurtful to the guys. When my brother went to Mississippi State, the fraternities gathered all their rushees into the middle of the arena in the coliseum. The bids were handed out to them and the men stood there and decided which bid they wanted, then ran to that fraternity-- which would be up at the top of the coliseum, screaming their name.
I watched as my brother opened a huge fistful of bids and took his time choosing. I also observed a lot of men get only one bid and sometimes run to that group, other times drop their heads and leave the coliseum. Getting multiple bids is great for the popular rushees and heartbreaking for those who not only just get one (maybe one they never wanted) but also see or hear about other rushees getting a handful.
