That's the impression that I was getting. They all do it to get to know the girls, and it's nothing that promises girls a bid.

Question: Do you think the dirty rush accusations come more from PNMs who are not familiar with UT and summer events thinking "Oh I went to dinner with XYZ! That means they must really like me and I'm getting a bid!" whereas girls who are familiar with UT know better than to think that a summer invite = a bid (because they know how common it is?)

Also, I assumed that most girls get bids. I mean, if most of them weren't, then every chapter wouldn't have matched quota. I said this before, but I find that unfortunately, here on GC, we hear a disproportionate number of unhappy endings from bigger schools for a number of reasons.
