I didn't want to tell them they were misinformed because I didn't know if this was, in fact, the rule this year. But, it seemed strange to me this would happen with QAs. Can you confirm based on personal experience?

It is what I was told by the Rho Gammas and the information sent out by Panhellenic prior to recruitment starting. I am a recruitment advisor at IU and was in Bloomington living in the sorority house for the past two weeks. As such, I have access to the raw data within the recruitment system (ICS). I can see the numbers as they change. As previously stated, I don't see a huge number of unmatched women based on the number that signed bid cards Sunday night versus the number of bids handed out.
I will say that there are plenty of Ds and Ds friends that may not want to admit that this is on them and want to "blame the system".

I will also say that having spent plenty of time with Rho Gammas over the past two weeks that if the Rho Gammas are reflecting their chapters then any woman that gets a bid to ANY house is lucky to be a member. I couldn't "guess" what chapter most of the Rho Gammas were members of- I was just as shocked as to whom was a member of a "top tier" as I was "bottom tier".

Just wondering if PNMs get dropped often for being disrespectful at houses? I read somewhere that if a PNM is blatantly disrespectful to a house at pref, they can be dropped from the process. Wondering if you have numbers showing that? Is a girl notified she has been dismissed from recruitment or just told she didn’t get a bid? Some of the parents on the FB were upset that there daughters were “made” to go to a house that she never wanted. Wondering if some of these girls weren’t dismissed for attitude?

If a PNM is "dismissed for attitude", the PNM is contacted by Panhellenic and is told exactly why she is being released. When will parents understand that recruitment is conducted by private organizations, it will not always be fair in their eyes. As an adult, I must to do things daily that I don't want to do. It's part of life. If a young adult cannot do things he or she doesn't want to do, life is going to be very tough for him or her.
