My school does guaranteed bidding for formal rush. The way it works is that every rushee who turns in a preferential list is guaranteed a bid to a sorority, although it may not be her number one choice. I think that guaranteed bidding is a good thing, however you do have to be careful of it. This past recruitment, I was a Rho Chi and we and the VP of Recruitment told the rushees several times that as long as they turned in a preferetial list, they were guaranteed a bid. However, when they did bid matching, it turned out that because of the way it worked, 3 girls ended up not receiving bids at all. The girls were called and told that they were eligible for open bid, and one of them did open bid. We (the Rho Chis) felt bad for those girls though because we did originally tell them that they were going to get bids.
