How does your school handle bidless PNMs on bid day?

Then there's the type who is crushed and thinks college is ruined because she is not in a sorority. Those most likely cannot be comforted by anyone (PX, non-Greek, school counselors). Those are the girls who will probably just need time to realize that yes, college goes on.

I agree. And I think there are some that go back and forth about how big a deal it is and it they are only around happy, happy NPC girls, it starts to seem like a bigger deal.

I never knew anyone personally who left school because of her rush results, but there were rumors to that effect. The president of SGA taking her out for coffee probably wouldn't change that. But the girls I knew who rushed last year and dropped out (because they didn't like their results) probably would have felt better to meet some other successful students who weren't caught up in Greek Life.

I think this is especially important on a campus like my own where greeks are like 22% of the students, but 70% of the SGA, 50% of the senior 100, etc. Some girls rushing obviously have their heart set on a sorority, but others, like myself, just see it initially as a good way to make connections, meet people, etc. Meeting non-greeks would help to some extent.
