How does your school handle bidless PNMs on bid day?

[epchick]

At my school, Rho Chi's are suppose to call you before Bid Day if you didn't get a bid, so that you didn't show up to Bid Day.

I'm so sorry if this has been asked....but i was wondering if you guys can give me a run down (maybe in lay-man's terms? lol) of quota additions and what happens when girls don't get bids.

Here was my situation in the fall:

So supposedly there were 35 PNMs going through recruitment, and quota was set at 17. Well 17 + 17= 34, which meant that one lone PNM would be dropped from both groups (regardless of where she was placed on their list). (this is where it gets confusing). We according to what i was told, I was the 35th person to be matched, but by the time they had gotten to me quota had been filled (and i was told by each sorority that I had been on their "A" list), so I didn't get the bid. Supposedly, one sorority wanted me as their 18th person, but the other sorority wouldn't allow it because they wouldn't get the extra person. Wouldn't I have been considered a quota addition? It never really seemed logical to me, but BOTH sororities told me the same story, so I believed it.

How is this type of situation handled at your school?
