number of pref parties

[LAblondeGPhi]

Ugh, I can't imagine the difficult situations that would result from PNMs going from 4 preference parties to 1 bid. I would image that a lot of PNMs wouldn't even list their fourth choice on their bid cards, and PNMs who did receive their fourth choice would be pretty hard to console.

Ok so what changed? Does that just mean there are more people rushing?

Maybe. Maybe not. I don't have UCF statistics.

It may be as simple as the parties were super crowded last year, it was hot in the houses with that many people, PNMs were tired, the chapters were overwhelmed by the number of PNMs at each party, or a combo of all of the above. Who knows?

Other campuses have had success with this format. Perhaps UCF has been hearing about the extra party slot option and since other panhellenics have been happy with that format they simply decided to give it a whirl.

Don't overthink it.
