But that can happen with the girls, too, only with the status of the group instead of the number of groups. If they're made to open their bids in front of everyone, they may get the popular house that everybody wants, or they may get a bid from a house that they hate, and still feel pretty awful.
I don't think that PNMs should EVER be made to open their bids in front of everybody else. If possible it should be done in private, or bids can be handed out in Rho Chi groups with the option to go open them alone. Accepting your bid is such a personal thing that I don't think any university should ever have an arrangement where you're supposed to open it in front of people, and fortunately I think most schools have moved away from that and tried to make the bid-receiving process as painless as possible -- having Rho Chi's call girls who weren't given a bid so they don't show up just to be embarassed in front of everyone, etc.
