I wanted time to write out a full response but I guess I'll tell you I did get a bid! Some of my friends didn't though.

Congratulations! Would love you to write up the ending and tell us all about your bid day.

At the Michigan recolonization last week, pref was invitation-only and bids were given out that night as a surprise. Four years ago, when we colonized at the school where I teach, the Greek Life office "strongly requested" that all PNMs be allowed to attend pref, and that cuts not be made until after that "round." Because we were also limited in how many we were allowed to take, there were many women cut. It was definitely difficult...personal calls were made to all of the PNMs who would not receive a bid. I think making pref invitational would have been less cruel.
