A very dressy FLORIDA STATE recruitment!

Actually, I lob that assertion not against Alpha Phi, or any specific house on that campus - I would say that Greek Life at FSU may want to reconsider house totals, but I'm certainly not saying that any one house is doing something wrong - I think they're all following rules, and that's fine.

But I can't see any reason why, for girls who are willing to "maximize their options", there shouldn't be a bid somewhere.

House totals have absolutely nothing to do with this. The sororities are allowed to go over total (sometimes WAY WAY over total) when the quota system is used. Girls who maximize their options DO usually end up with bids. "Maximize your options" does not mean the sororities cannot cut women along the way. That's their right. There's one school that we know of that has guaranteed bidding and basically what happens at the end is that there are PNMs everyone has tried to drop, and one or the other sorority has to suck it up and take them. Would you want to receive a bid in that manner? I know I wouldn't.

And I hate to say it, but if yinz think this is messy and unfair - wait till next fall and DG at UA. I wouldn't be surprised if they have almost as many girls coming out for that colony as they do for rush, period.

PNM at FSU - I'm sorry that you were disappointed.
