I'll just speak for my house, which is small (15 brothers deep at the moment, though we've had up to 36) in saying that, in short, we talk about rushies and have a predetermined percentage of people who have to say yes (and/or can't say no) in order for a bid vote to pass. Each canadate is talked about and voted on seprately. Yes that can mean that one vote (or even one abstention) can dictate someone not getting a bid, but if the numbers are small enough, universal agreement is important. When numbers are big, less people are likely to agree and in this method, don't have to. Note: This is NOT simple majority, though it can be. Most votes are at least two/thirds yes and no more than 10% can say no. Meaning with 15 brothers, only one person can say no or abstain for a rushie to get a bid. These numbers can be different for your house.
If your question is leaning more towards a thought process is when deciding if an individual should get a bid, its fairly simple. Will they be good for the house or, at least, will they harm the house? Does anyone have any serious issues with giving them a bid? If the rushie fits in with a majority of brothers and there are no serious objections, there is no reason they shouldn't get a bid. Remember, a bid does not mean a brother. The pledging process is what that is for.
