Yeah...we were on pins and needles! If the room across the hall from yours got a knock, it was hard not to jump off the bed startled. I almost think it's cruel to add to the suspense, but these women have to be informed in some way. Our recruitment was a week before the beginning of school with all PNMs living in one of the dorms for the week. You couldn't send a letter...it would never get to them.

Its sort of a crappy way to do it, I imagine it feels pretty horrible to go pick up your bids and find that there aren't any waiting for you.

yeah, that's how we did it too.

I always felt bad for the guys who didn't get bids, but I feel bad for the guys sitting there, because they're not allowed to say anything other than "try again, hang out more" when really they should be like "dude, you aren't anything like those guys, next time rush ABC instead" which would be helpful for all concerned.

We had one girl who went through recruitment this year that did not get a bid to either sorority. It was the first time in 4 years that it's happened.

Wow. Is there a "weird rush story" there?

The year I pledged, there was a girl who went through formal rush and got cut from all, went through COB for 2 sororities and got cut from both of them, then went through COB for the same other 2 sororities in the spring, and finally the one extended a bid.
