Students and parents can't have it both ways. IU changed from bed rush to their current system and added three sororities because people were SCREAMING too many women were being denied a bid. Come to find out all they really wanted was more open membership spaces in the popular houses.

So now NPC might deny that third pref house option on every campus no matter the number of sororities on campus, all in the name of having more women maximize options. How will denying a third pref house to PNMs (especially on a large campus) build-up the size of the smaller/alleged lower tier groups? And what does that say about panhellenic love and working together for the good of all campus NPC groups?

Why not just have a PNM come out and choose ONE house she wants for pref, and skip the niceties of learning to interact with people in a sorority you simply think you cannot stand?

Me too.

The other side of the coin that I would have argued at cg's RFM training is that if women are presented with only two options and are unenthused about both they're WAY more likely to not even go to sign their bid card. If there are three that's one more option that can at least get her to bid signing.
