No, it's not fun to open your dorm door and see XYZ standing there when you thought you were getting ABC, but at least you aren't in front of the entire sorority population and if you want to decline gracefully or cry you can...plus when we did this, the women picking you up were usually girls you'd bonded with in rush and that you could be honest with.

I can kind of see what you are saying, but they did list all the groups on the bid card. So, to me, it seems like they ought to be pretty excited about what they got.
As long as the girls who didn't match know in advance, I think public events may lead to a more panhellenic enthusiasm about joining in general.
