That's even more humiliating than a "squeal day run." At least the girls aren't having to run all alone, one at a time.

Having this type of public pronouncement likely -

1) increases retention (it seemed we always had at least one guy drop immediately after accepting a bid). It would be harder to drop after this.

2) has a leveling effect among the different (and obviously varying) fraternities. They all are doing sort of the same thing their own way.

3) publicly states who went where.

Not true at Pittsburg State University. Each PMN is introduced and then her bid match is announced. No group running.

For at least two recent years Elmhurst College also did the individual new member announcing (my sister's best friend is an alumnae to one of Elmhurst's chapters).
