Congrats to TPA. Nine is a great sized spring class.
For spring rush though, what constitutes "doing well"?
I know that we had 6 bids to give, preffed 12. Not sure what the numbers ended up being, but the chances of the 6 girls all accepting bids is slim to none. Thankfully we have a great snap bid/COR system set up so i'm pretty sure we got to 6 last night (haven't talked to anyone).
I'm sure there were a ton of broken hearts yesterday- this system leads to that. There's always some great girls that end up slipping through the crack. But then sometimes when they pick up their bids they're pressured to sign one that they got, even though they really wanted the other one. They think that they were totally rejected from the one they really wanted- when in reality, it's just because they can only give a few bids. Girl ends up signing the bid to another house because she's pressured to, hates it, then can't rush for another calendar year. It happens all the time
Another problem is that with spring rush, especially this year because ALL of the houses were rushing, is that many of the houses want the same girls.
Sorry, this system just aggrevates the hell out of me.
Especially since it's done in such a weird way. It's supposed to be informal, yet Panhel has so much involvement, including is suing rush infractions for stupid things. And so many girls get their hearts broken. Plus I think it's a waste of money to put on rush parties when you only need a couple girls..... Wish Pitt would release placement numbers and that sort of thing, i'd love to see how many girls got bids out of rushed, etc.
