Because pnm's at IU think they can get the house they really want through a second 'informal recruitment' week right after formal recruitment if they just drop out and try again the next week. This has got to STOP and there was a comment about it on another thread. Southern schools don't do this; they adopted NPC recruitment guidelines decades ago. This means no bed rush (which IU has thankfully ended), Quota Additions allowing every pnm to get a bid if they rank all their pref houses (again, IU has finally implemented this) and chapter totals are set/adjusted right after recruitment so there is equity among houses' membership numbers and only new chapters that are still building need to offer more than a few bids post-recruitment. All of these measures offer a much higher placement rate during formal recruitment with no real second chance right after rush, so pnm's know that they need to make recruitment week work or they are bidless. They stay in and try to make it work. AND any system that forces groups to PAIR up is DOOMED. Most Southern schools don't do pairs so each house stands on their own for major events and socializes with lots of other fraternities, and sometimes sisterhood events with other sororities. No sorority's standing should be based on a fraternity. This has also got to STOP.
