I only come to GC around IU recruitment time but maybe one of these days I'll share my story from 2006. Bed rush was so brutal and gross. There were dozens or maybe even hundreds of girls who went to 3 preference parties and ended up with no bid. I remember the sweetest girl on my floor freshman year who was "cross-cut". It was unfair to Rho Gammas as well having to console multiple heartbroken PNMs. I didn't even understand that this was NOT the normal process for years. Now when I hear on TikTok "dropped from all" they mean "dropped from all of my favorites" and I just get so angry.

In any event, hoping for good outcomes for everyone!

That's what I sensed when I'd watch these videos of PNMs saying "I dropped." And I doubt it was a matter of grades or a genuine reputation issue, which is super rare. I did hear that it was extremely cold the whole week (like much of the midwest, real feels were in the negatives )

Per IU Panhellenic's Instagram post, around 1,500 women accepted bids this year.
