That's not quite how formal rush works at my school. After each round except prefs, the rushees go home either over night or for a few hours (depending on the round) They then come back to a meeting later where they recieve a list of every house that invited them back to the next round. Rushees get to see their individual list of who invited them back and then they have to make choices. Rushees are required to cut down to the max number of houses allowed. We have 16 chapters, and round two cuts to 10, round three cuts to 6, round four/prefs cuts to 3. If a girl does not have the max number, like she only got 8 invites after round one, she HAS to go back to all of her invites or she will be dropped from rush because she can't cut any yet. Only after prefs does a rushee rank the sororities, or make choices without seeing her invite list.

This way of doing matching eliminates the possibility of the computer messing up and dropping people who shouldn't have been dropped.

I went through rush last year and went to 2 houses on pref night. I bid one and put the other second but did not get a bid. What are my chances of getting one of those two sororities if I go through this year. Will anyone hold it against me for not getting a bid last year? I am a little uneasy about the whole thing. Do you have any advice?
