To get a bid you have to rank and attend all events where you are asked back. If you just pick one house at the end (aka suicide) and you aren't ranked by that house or ranked highly enough then YOU WILL NOT GET A BID. In the case of suiciding you won't get a bid because you didn't go to ALL the parties that you were invited to (assuming you had 2-3 options by pref and instead of taking them all you just took 1 option). Based on what happened last year with people dropping or suiciding to me the lesson learned is to keep on going and then reevaluate after bids. Everyone has a different POV but many sophomores went through again this year after dropping last year and given the numbers its now pretty competitive to go through as a second year (its doable but competitive). The other thing to keep in mind is that even though you will know more people going through as a second year you are rolling the dice on upperclassmen quota numbers at a particular house. Only you know what is right for you and at Cal we are lucky that its possible to go through as an upperclassmen so know you do have options, its just that they might not be any different than options you have this year and you will miss all the fun of first year! Think about what is best for you.
