Every year this question gets brought up. Here's how it used to be. Back before even the seniors time, there was a bed quota system, which allowed some houses to be super selective and some not so much. For instance, houses like Theta Phi Alpha took 70-80 girls, while houses like Alpha Phi took 30. In fact, the year I rushed, way back in 2014, rush lost a whole round of recruitment due to IU closing because of a snowstorm. That meant 21 houses went to 12, 12 to 3 (Pref used to be 3 rounds) and 3 to 1. Philanthropy and Sisterhood round were combined that year. The cuts were awful, and over 1,000+ women were without a bid or an opportunity to join a sorority at all. Most were not voluntary dropping either. Half of my floor didn't get a bid. Now, it's all 50 minimum or more per house, and a pref round of 2, and more time at the houses, and you have a much higher chance of getting the houses you bid for after pref, and an easier rush overall. So when you see your friends dropping because they don't want the houses that they got back - let them. They are losing out and could have it so much worse than you all do. And not only that.... they're losing out on the best experience they could ever have at IU. Be thankful you got what you did this year. And have fun tomorrow at Bid Night!
