Is this standard practice on many campuses? It has been over 15 years since I rushed, but if I recall correctly we had 24 hours to decide whether to accept a bid. That allowed the emotions to calm down a bit, disappointed girls time to compose themselves, and even some the chance to "sleep on things." PNMs could also call and talk to family, etc.
Bid Day was at 4:30 and so the PNMs had that evening and then most of the next day to make up their minds. Was it common for someone to take 24 hours? No, but there were definitely times when it took more than 2 hours, and every year there were a few that accepted thier bids the next morning.
Anyway, it just seems that with a mere 2 hour window that exactly what happened with this PNM would happen. Emotions are running high, fear that people would see that she had been crying, etc I think would sway many of them to just go back to the dorm.

For our recruitment this year, our bid lists are due at 3 and bid day begins at 5. To me this means that the PNMs have less than 2 hours to basically make what could potentially be a life changing decision.
I didn't go through formal recruitment, I COB'ed, but I was told that I had 24 hours to accept or decline
