University of Southern California Recruitment

So would not most PNMs be delighted with the bid they receive?

It is my understanding at SC if a pnm attends two preference parties and lists both she will receive a bid from one of those two. It may not be the chapter the pnm listed first. If a pnm was invited to only one preference party, attended and listed that chapter on her card she should receive a bid from that chapter.

My guess is this year new member classes may be the largest ever at SC.

You would think so, but no, not everyone is thrilled. Some girls are devastated by receiving their second choice on bid day. It may be the first time they haven't gotten something they wanted, or they may genuinely have a huge gap in how they feel about #1 and #2.

They may have lost their favorite early in recruitment, and not really be thrilled about either of their pref chapters. As recruitment becomes more competitive all over, those delicate emotions may be going the way of the dodo.

Today the pnms pick up their invitations to Slideshow Day. They may attend up to four parties.
