Some of the advice here would be good advice at a different campus, but remember that IU does not use a quota system. Because of this, many PNMs do go bidless. (I don't know if it is 700, but it is an issue.) The number of bids issued is not proportional to the number of PNMs.
Additionally, I don't think it is fair to say that the fact that more NPC groups are not there proves that there is no need. What about Ole Miss and other schools like that? There are places where the local customs interfere with the typical NPC atmosphere. IU is one of those places.

Something a few campuses have; I believe Nebraska has it. In this system, each sorority only accepts as many members as they have empty beds in their house. It tends to lead to a lot of women not getting bids during formal recruitment.

Really? I have never heard about this! I would be interested in hearing from a member of a sorority who does this. How many "empty beds" could a house have? My SEC chapter had a waiting list of girls wanting to live in the house every year. If this was the same case at a "bed rush" school, would they simply not participate in rush?
