That's me! (I'm guessing)

I guess it just depends on the chapter and/or existing rules at the school.

Agreed. I'm sure there are some chapters of DO who do give bids to everyone who rushes. As far as I know (I won't swear by this, but I'm almost positive) the Phi Mu Alpha chapter on my old campus doesn't bid everyone who rushes, either. If they do, they must have some fantastic way of only getting the right guys to rush, because they have an amazing group of guys (or did in my day, at least)

I think, since SAI is all-female, they're not completely under the "professional" designation, which may allow chapters to make their own decisions regarding bids. (The same goes for Phi Mu Alpha, which is all-male). Mu Phi Epsilon is co-ed nationally, if not necessarily in every chapter, so I don't think they have as much control over selection.

I'm not sure how it works with SAI, but since Phi Mu Alpha is actually a social fraternity rather than professional, yes, they are extended much more flexibility with their bidding. We are, by designation, co-ed, however, my chapter is by choice all female (or was... it may have changed). There are ways of getting around it. I'm not familiar wiht Mu Phi Epsilon, so I can't say anything for them.
