they will publish numbers of girls each house took-- but not names.

I think that's very sage in this day and time.

Agreed. As nice as it is to see who the people who received bids are, it may not be wise with reference to privacy issues.

Bid day doesn't start till 5:30 and the groups will be snapping and COBing up till then.

So the girls getting snapped/COB'd will know who 'wants' them before the other PNMs get their bids??

no, I meant the groups will be deciding who they want to snap and COB.

There's never any stigma to receiving a COB bid, as far as I know. And if you are a pledge on bid day, almost no one will even know you were a COB bid verses a regular match.

But since only smaller groups do COB, I'm afraid that there is a little stigma from the groups' end about having COB events.

I think that's why there's rarely any sense of spring recruitment, even when more than one group is COBing.

It's often kept kind of quiet unless you are participating in it.

I don't! I think it's a very minor point as far as privacy's concerned. I'd rather see a list so I know who pledged where...can count and find out who missed quota...who from my hometown pledged where...
Auburn and Alabama are UNUSUAL that they publish the lists, and so quickly. Most university public relations departments don't want to bother.

Did you miss the BA episode on here? It takes very little information to stalk someone nowadays. At the very least, they should have all of the PNMs sign a privacy release when they sign up for rush, stating that their name and chapter can be published, should they recieve a bid.

I think they should make the information available from girls who are willing to release it. I think most girls would be proud to have their names listed with their new affiliations for hometown folks to check.

Personally, while I enjoy being able to sort by hometown because it makes scanning the Auburn list for people I know easier, that's the only part that I really think could be used to stalk, unless the school doesn't even put out a student directory.

A name and an affiliation on a list posted for a few weeks doesn't seem like that much information to me.
