Suicide/Too short?

[Zillini]

*ETA Clarification: I'm talking about a competitive campus with large chapters.*

I don't normally advocate "suiciding" because I believe that a PNM can find friends and a home in almost any chapter. It's in the PNM's best interest to keep an open mind. If you wind up with a bid from your least favorite, you should still give them a chance. You only met a handful of members during Recruitment. There are so many more that you might click with. You may end up falling in love and happy that the stars aligned that way.

But if a PNM knows with 100% certainty that she would never accept a bid at XYZ, then don't list them on your Pref Card. You could end up taking a Bid away from someone else who would truly love to be an XYZ. Plus, that leaves the chapter scrambling to snap or COR to fill their pledge class.
