I believe that (at least in my day) that if you were cut from 1st and 2nd sets, you could not be invited back for snap bids. Only if you did not recieve a bid or were cut in 3rd Sets. And I believe it was a Panhel rule.

Designergal might be able to help out a little more! She's a more current alumna

And Pinklady I do hope as I said before that you find your way into UM's greek system. It really is a wonderful opportunity. In all honesty every kind of system that they use to match the girls and houses has its bugs. My freshman year about 25% or more girls did not recieve bids. The Rush class started with about 990 girls and ended with like 400 getting Bids or something like it.
I would just like to say that there are really no "good" and "bad" houses at UM, but I do get the point that you were trying to make. As Designergal said every house has its issues and as pointed out you have the a few "popular" houses that always do well, but these houses also have pretty high de-acto rates. Just like you have "non-popular" houses that continue to struggle. However, all chapters have or will eventually go through low and high points of membership. That's just life, but you make the best of what you have. I totally understand that AGD was not for you and take no offense to it. Its not for everyone and as you said you stated your feelings. I do hope that you do find the house for you.
