It really depends on the campus as well...while this isn't always a stellar idea and isn't an idea that should be repeated (meaning do it once and don't do it again for many years so that you don't become THAT sorority), if planned and calculated right, it could work. DON'T do it without some thought (and the cajones to live with the consequences!). Be very cautious with this one, and discuss it with your National Staff...they may not like it too well.
Good Luck and keep us updated!

I was in NO WAY suggesting that they just hand out bids to girls. I was suggesting that sometimes women are not approached in scenarios like this:
"Oh I know her-she wouldn't be interested. She's a "insert sterotype here" major".
"Oh she wouldn't have time, she's on the soccer team. You know how busy they are"
"Naw, she wouldn't be interested, she's from Japan. She wanted to know what triangle K meant on my jersey!"
" I hang out with her all the time. If she was interested she'd have said something by now"
"she's friends with all the XYZ's. She wouldn't want us"
"I think she'd prefer and NPHC group because she's friends with so and so and I know so and so is a Delta"
That's the kind of stuff I am talking about. I remember one day seeing a BEAUTIFUL girl sitting my herself in the quad one day and thinking I'd invite her to something and a sister of mine was all like "Oh I have class with her and all she talks about is her boyfriend and modeling.Like she's a real model!" It was obvious to me that my sister was intimidated by this girl. She had nothing nice to say about her. Another girl I wanted to invite was quite fat-but very nicely pout together and cute. They didn't want me to ask her either. Both girls ended up joining a different group on campus at formal the next year and were great girls. That's the stuff I am talking about.
