[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay I did a little googling.

Alabama is Exhibit 1. You can go through the process and not get a bid.

[quote]You’re not guaranteed a bid
The majority of the women participating in primary recruitment are invited to join a chapter at the end. APA says, for the last five years, more than 89 percent of the women participating in the Open House Round of Recruitment have received a bid.

But it is possible to go through recruitment and not pledge a sorority. Recruitment is a process of “mutual selection,” which means it can result in “many different outcomes.”

APA says approximately 4-8 percent of women participating in recruitment voluntarily withdraw themselves from the process during the week, choosing not to continue participating. “Each sorority at UA has their own membership criteria, oftentimes governed by their national organization, which they use to make there selections,” the website says. “As such, unfortunately, we also have women who are completely released from the recruitment process, although this number is relatively low, around 5 percent.”[/quote]

DePauw University, where over 60 per cent of students are Greek is Exhibit 2.

College of Wooster is Exhibit 3. My source is The Wooster Voice, official school newspaper.

University of Georgia is Exhibit 4.

Dartmouth College--"rare but does happen"--is Exhibit 5.

The above you've quoted about Alabama says you can start the process (that's the open house round) and not get a bid. Then it describes kids removing themselves from the process.
Obviously girls who decide to stop rushing won't get a bid.

If I send my resume to a job opportunity and then decide not to attend the interview, obviously I'm not going to get a job offer. That's not because the company was rejecting me - I rejected them.[/quote]

Right. Many young women do not get bids, under this definition, at UVA (meaning they choose to withdraw from the process). [/quote]
