I know it's hard to stomach, (it definitely caused a stir with my daughter just as she is starting to heal from all this) but I get it. I think it was a unique situation.
This whole thing has been such a fiasco, I'm just not willing to get all bent out of shape about 1 or 2 girls.....

My daughter heard the same story. She and I just want this whole "fiasco" to be over.
I do wonder why have standards, if there are ways to "hold spots" (daughter's words) for girls who do not meet these standards.
I do not know all the rules but my daughter is aware of two girls approached yesterday by the same house about accepting a bid to a house and they did. Are these consider snap bids? If it's not, I thought informal rush was not beginning until after the new colonization.
For those who have no compassion for girls who didn't maximize their bids or withdrew because they didn't play according to the rules, please note that it doesn't seem all the chapters are either.
It may happen all over but at IU the competition is fierce enough among the girls meeting grade standards, going through formal rush and playing by the rules.
