It would be great if Indiana (and other schools that use this system of notifying bid/no bid at the same time in the dorms) would establish a different, and kinder, way to let the women who are not getting bids know that their recruitment has ended. An advance call. A text. Something that allows them to go someplace else rather than have to be part of the joyful craziness of bid day. Yes, greek life may not be in the cards for everyone, but it seems particularly cruel and "in your face" to make them find out publically when everyone else is celebrating and there is no one there to help you navigate those first very difficult moments. It is never easy to find out that something you want isn't in the cards, but some privacy and your rho gamma's undivided attention can go a long way.
