Not Maximizing Your Options
I talked to my younger daughter today and she is not maximizing her options. She attended three preference parties yesterday. I told her to rank all three last night. She didn't do it. Two of the chapters she feels are a good fit for her, the other not so much. However, a young women a few doors down also attended the party for the sorority that my daughter didn't feel comfortable with. Her friend adores that house and really wants a bid there. She doesn't want to take a bid from someone who really wants one, so she didn't rank that house. She is prepared to deal with not getting anything. She says she will just get an apartment and still be happy. I guess there are some good reasons for not maximizing all your options. It depends on the individual.
Incidentally, even though she is in a better position than many women at this point, she feels the process is random and arbitrary. Luck seems to have a lot to do with it. Most of the women on her floor were crying and miserable over the past few days.
