Let's hope there aren't too many released women whose roommates get bids, and if there are, sororities hold off on the door decorations. Yes, it's a lesson in being a grown-up to take a deep breath and be happy for your new friend. But I think it is asking too much of 17- or 18-year-old releasees to literally have sorority welcomes thrown in their faces every time they enter their own homes. If a new member's roommate was cut, her new sisters can surprise her with chair decorations at a chapter meeting or something.
There is really no way this happens. When a house receives their bid list, a group of pre-assigned actives divides up into groups (per dorm) and starts to get ready to head out on door decoration duty while other actives pick up the PNMs and get them to the house. Chapter ABC would have no idea if PNM #32s roommate 1) Got a bid to somewhere 2) Got released from recruitment 3) Even signed up for recruitment 4) Hated sorority girls. Because of this the trend and tradition of door decoration will continue.
thanks for the support. I'm sophomore who hadn't rushed as a freshman, so I'm fairly certain my chance is over. I'm not going through this again, especially not as a junior. It just sucks because at most other schools, I wouldnt be sitting around crying during the pref round.
I am hoping to twist the arm of my pnm - it would be a story worth hearing, I'm sure - involving medical intervention and laryngitis!

I am so excited - my pnm has three pref parties, including her #1!
