Reportedly a "banner year" for the MIT sororities, there were a record number of bids accepted (137):

One question: the article says, "Women are now able to decline a bid by designating “regret with interest,” allowing them to participate in informal recruitment, [a Panhellenic officer] said. In previous years, women who did not accept a bid after ranking their preferences could not participate in recruitment for one calendar year. " Just curious -- is this a reporter's misunderstanding, or a new NPC option, or a new MIT procedure?
