So, to sum up the viewpoints given:
Women are not forced to list houses that they don't want to join.
However, some believe that there is peer pressure not to suicide and maybe list groups that are less desired in order give those houses a chance. Which is also consistent with the philosophy of Formal Rush, trying to create population parity among the houses.
It seems to be the opinion of the majority, that all else being equal, any reasonably stable girl should be able to have a good experience in even the less popuar houses. That assumes that house doesn't have any extraordinary problems.
There is also a strong viewpoint that the houses and the rho chi's might know better where someone should be placed than the actual PNM. In this case, its important that the PNM be "guided" to put down multiple houses, and "encouraged" to accept a bid they might not be dying for, to give that house a chance. Because after all, they can quit and rush again.
A vocal minority believes that the average PNM is perfectly capable of making an informed choice. Therefore pressure is not a good or maybe even an ethical thing.
I think that sums up most of the debate.
