I DO agree with you, 100%, that the system should be explained thoroughly to all PNMs. It's always rainbows and sunshine and they never explain about releases, how some houses must cut more, how bid lists work, etc. I think that would help a TON and I really wish that were the case. Girls are sold a simplified fantasy and then when the real cuts happen, they panic and start rumors and all of that could be prevented by just acknowledging that it is a numbers game and that virtually everybody will get cut by chapters they like. Every campus has lots of girls drop. Many of those girls are set on 2-3 chapters and when those houses drop them, they quit rush. The majority of them had several chapters that were thrilled to invite them back, but those PNMs decided those chapters are "beneath" them. So it's not just on Panhel or the chapters, its on the PNMs. Cal's drop numbers are not abnormal for any system across the country. And believe me, ours is not a competitive rush. SEC schools, USC, UT austin, Indiana, those rushes are brutal and make ours look like a cake walk. Totally disagree with you about one standard for COB. COB is used to help chapters get to the same size. Recruitment is and always will be the main avenue for girls to join sororities, by a landslide, so the uniformity matters there tremendously. Its imperative that every girl be seen by every house. COB? Not nearly so important.
