What to tell a girl who didn't get a bid

[PeppyGPhiB]

As a former Rho Chi (twice!) myself, I can't imagine how hard it must be to tell women in your rush group that they've been released from recruitment or didn't get a bid. Especially if they've done the best they could and maximized their opportunities. It happens so rarely that I probably would opt to tell the woman in person instead of over the phone, so that she could have a shoulder to cry on if needed.

For informal recruitment, honestly I don't know how my chapter handled the no-bid situation. I was never involved in the notification, so don't know whether they talked to the women regardless of getting a bid or not.
