You are correct. Maximizing one's options applies only to quota additions. Anyone can get a snap bid.

Last year that was a requirement. Snap bids could only go to those that attended preference and maximized their options. Not sure of the rules this year.

Doesn't even want to go to the sorority house tonight.

Tears sprang to my eyes when I read this. That is just ghastly that only four of twelve girls got bids, horrible! And it sounds like that is the theme tonight. Your daughter's scenario was entirely possible in my daughter's room, but thank goodness they both got bids to Theta Phi Alpha. Maybe now your daughter can pull for her friend next year, if she still has the desire to join that sorority.

Yay! Congratulations to your daughter and her roommate! Please welcome them on my behalf to the wonderful sorority that took ahold of my own heart years ago and has yet to let go!

Not to devolve into the whole RFM thing, but unless IU has yet another squirrely rule, quota additions can go to girls who maximize their options, and QA is done and gone by now. But a chapter can issue a snap bid to any joe blow on the street if they want. NPC can't interfere or prevent a chapter from achieving quota or total.
But that being said, I don't know if any sororities are snapping right now or if they will need to tomorrow. With RFM getting more and more refined over time, and with this weird rush in particular, it is very possible that while some great gals went bidless one or some sororities could have missed quota. Simply because they weren't allowed to invite enough girls to preference.

Wait a minute - AGD sets the recruitment rules at IU??? (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.  )
IUHoosiergirl88, thanks for posting those pics!
And it breaks my heart to think that so many PNMs followed the rules, maximized their options, attended prefs, and then got The Call or The Text. (Text! I'm so glad texting didn't exist when I rushed.) I hope these young ladies will check out the new DPhiE colony, but I also hope they understand that they may not be selected for the colony.

For a sec there I was like WHAAAA, I didn't blame a particular sorority for some stupid rule... and then the light bulb went on. Funny!
