RFM Question

But I think people are discussing this worst case scenario as a fairly plausible option. Although it is POSSIBLE that a chapter could find out something heinous between inviting a girl to preference and completing the final bid list, that is not at all likely. Not liking her dress at preference or the girl burped unattractively is not going to be a good enough reason to pass muster with your headquarters or panhel.

You know what's not uncommon, though? A girl getting invited to one house she likes and one she doesn't, and acting like a total asshole at the latter.

Haha...so true DeltaBetaBaby....

But she if house 2 left her off their bid list I suspect she would be somewhere on her #1s.

I don't disagree that it would be rare that a PNM was left off of a bid list altogether, but in today's world of social media, it doesn't take much for word of bad behavior to spread and spread quickly. 10 years ago it probalby would have never been an issue. Today...it does not take much for PNMs to shoot themselves in the foot. With frats throwing parties left and right, PNMs just don't listen to the warnings to not go. An instagram and 20 minutes later and word gets out.

At that point, the sorority is stuck, and will have to go through whatever its procedures are for removing a NM. Guaranteed placement means that the sorority is committed to the PNM at the pref list point rather than the bid list point.

This was my understanding, yes. (Of UT, just to double clarify)
