Getting a Bid from Someone You Didn't Pref

[PenguinTrax]

except there are still alot of campuses that don't use computers for matching. It's still done the oldfashioned way, by hand. That said, the bid lists should never been in anyone's possession except the chapter's advisor attending recruitment. The Greek Life advisor should not even be present during bid matching, or at least be there as a neutral party.

One more thing to worry about come January recruitment!

Legacy status can be a good or bad thing depending on the chapter and other sororities on campus;

quota additions seem to favor the "good chapters";

modernized invitation numbers seem to favor the weaker chapters creating an even greater demand for an invite to a top house since supply is down;

and now throwing girls into houses that they don't want at all?

I don't think it "favors" the weaker chapters - it simply is forcing the rushees and sororities who invite everyone with a uterus to "get real." If the rushees were realistic, they wouldn't keep wanting a chapter that doesn't want them. If the sororities were realistic, they wouldn't keep inviting back girls they don't want just for the sake of insurance. Plus it can't help that sorority (or Greek life overall) when the rushees realize they've been played the whole time - that they weren't really wanted.
