I just want to assure you that the computer NEVER messes up. I was the computer chair for panhellenic at my school last year, and believe me, it's always 100% accurate. The matches are based on mutual selection. At my school, girls will tell a house that really wanted her that she wanted them, just to make them feel better. Girls in houses can do this to rushees as well. Last year we had several people claiming computer errors, so they came in and demanded for us to look at the bid sheets and the bid card again. And 10 times out of 10, it was clear that it was not the computer who errored. I just had to tell you that, because that's one of the biggest misconceptions about computer rush, and it can often be the scapgoat for problems. Have faith in the computer though, cause it's never the real issue. If you still doubt the computer, go into the Greek Life office and ask them to check it out. They will help clear things up for you.
