Bears is the only NPC group left on campus. This year was their first year to do fall recruitment alone.
This school has a lot of commuters so before the days of guaranteed-bid-if-options-maximized, they didn't want to make people wait around so they posted a list of names who received a bid. The cheerleaders would not be receiving a matched bid so by the list, they should have stayed home. But the sororities were ready with blank COB bids so by showing up, the chapter they had ISPed picked them up with a COB bid right after everyone else got their bid cards.
I have to say, I know later they said they felt so strange standing there with no envelope and then getting an envelope shoved in their hands 30 seconds later... both eventually dropped out right before initiation. One said she could never get over knowing she was not "first choice". The other one went back through recruitment again the next year (and was rushed hard by Bears... she's ironically the one who dropped them the first time, but ended up pledging Tigers AGAIN... and initiating that time!)
