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

If you know she's going to make a big deal about it, be thankful you guys didn't offer her a bid, and when she demands to know why she didn't get a bid, an "I'm sorry you didn't get a bid, but membership selection is private, and we wish you luck in the future" is sufficient. She doesn't need to be comforted, especially if you already know she's going to give you a hard time.

perhaps it's better to go by a person to person basis.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

was the reason people became so offensive about the rest of my post was because i gave too much information? everyone seemed to focus on something that wasn't the actual question. i should have just simply said "what do i tell someone who doesn't get a bid"

I can't speak for the others, but I get the impression that not too many people knew about Greek culture at your school, so they weren't as informed about your campus like PM_Mama is. We didn't know that you didn't know what a Rho Chi was. We didn't know until you got snippy at the end that some dude named Al's the one who runs your Greek Life office. If anything, you probably didn't provide ENOUGH info.

I just got the feeling that the answers the majority of us gave just weren't good enough.
