in some ways i think it would be so exciting, but what about if there's a house (or several) that got WAY below quota, and all the new members are running to all the sororities around them and then only a few go to their house.
i think that would be heartwrenching, not only for the new members but the actives as well. it would be very hard on chapter morale.

Actually, this is sometimes the case at my school. In past years, there has been one chapter who consistently gets lower numbers during formal recruitment, but they end up pulling up numbers through COB and are actually very close to total (almost all 6 chapters are at or near total) by the end of Fall. As far as I know, they've never been upset or anything about the bid day process because they do get a good number of girls, and there are usually like 20-30 girls running at once so it's not like all eyes are on them. I don't think the problem is that they aren't good at rushing because they really are and they have a great chapter. I think the problem is that they don't follow release figures at all, which hurts their numbers in the end. Hopefully, things will change soon.
