When I COB'd Alpha Xi Delta, we had to wait in our dorm rooms for a certain amount of time, I think between 7 and midnight, during which we would either get a phone call or a knock on the door. We had to have our doors closed.
My next door neighbor, and the girl on the other side of her, also rushed. Every time one of our phones rang, we'd freak out, first out of fear of getting the dreaded call, then out of frustration at someone tying up the line.
I had a knock on my door at around 11:45, and a sister hand-delivered my bid to me. I was so happy because this was a girl I knew from high school; we car pooled together, and performed in musicals together. I was doubly psyched bc we had had a minor tiff in HS, and I was petrified that it was going to impact my chances. She was one of only two people I knew in the sorority.
At the same time, I heard a knock on one of my neighbor's doors, as well as a phone ring. My next door neighbor also received a bid, and the girl two doors down received the phone call.
Immediately after receiving our bids (and hugging and crying), we were rushed off to the chapter room. My neighbor and I tried to console the other girl, but we had to go. I felt really bad about that, and I am not sure if another way would work better. I think it was pure coincidence that three rushees (there were 5 spots open and around 25 PNMs) lived in the same suite of 10 girls.
