^^^^Co-sign. I wouldn't get into the fact that it was your chapter, but the situation is totally uncalled for.

It doesn't really matter which chapter it was, because it's Panhellenic's responsibility to make "the call".

At my school, NOBODY got called. (This may have changed. I hope it has.) Each PNM met individually with her rho chi, who gave her either a bid or a letter informing her that she had not received a bid. From there, she either went to her new sorority's bid day party, or went home if she hadn't received a bid or if she'd chosen to decline her bid. The less fortunate PNMs, who were often in tears, had to walk past all the other PNMs waiting for their bids.

If you're going to call women who didn't get invites/bids, it's imperative to call EVERY woman, to avoid exactly this sort of situation.

My heart goes out to any PNM who has to go through such a horrible experience. Every Panhellenic should have a "no-bid call policy" during recruitment to avoid just that kind of heartache!!!!

Even if the complaint is logged to the campus' Panhellenic Council, what kind of trouble would the Rho Chi get into?

Rush is over and she's no longer a Rho Chi. That's a horrible thing to have to go through for the PNM, but I imagine there won't be any consequences for the Rho Chi who didn't give the courtesy call to the OP's PNM.
