bids
by: CuriousHow many girls on average don't receive a bid at the end of it all?
Comment#3 by: Drop
Last year I think about 200 girls dropped or didn't receive a bid and the year before that it was about 225. I don't know how many of those specifically did not receive a bid. It's also important to be aware that some girls do not get invited back to any house during the week. It's scary but a reality.

"Wrong" is right. Any house is what you make of it. You would hope every girl feels her house is "top". It's like anything else in life--you don't know anything about our houses until you've lived here. You might get the house you wanted and hate it because you were your authentic self during recruitment. You might doubt you want to settle for a sorority you think you don't want and meet your maid of honor and create positive change which moves that house up the row.

Like these people are saying dropping is totally different than receiving NO bid. There were some girls with no bids on Bid Day but they didn't list all their choices and it backfired.

Pretty much if you come through recruitment with not even one bid you did something wrong.

Larger girls will have a harder time. It isn't nice but it's true. You do find larger girls in every house though so do not count yourself out.

It is RARE for a girl with a good résumé, who got all her paperwork/ REC letters...in on time, who is dressed appropriately and respectful not to get a bid. In fact, if you do this and maximize your invites its almost impossible for you to have no bid.

It is sad that a crazy troll keeps going on about weight on this site. I guess they want to stop any bigger girl from even trying. The truth is that every house has girls of different weights in them. Some may be more interested in your outward appearance but they have a mix of girls too. If you got all your information in and have a engaging personality you will get a bid. That is the truth of the matter.

Dropping out is NOT not receiving a bid! It's quitting because you think you're too good for the sororities you have left.
The truth is that very few PNMs go bidless, that is get dropped completely by the system before preference round. Maybe less than ten?
The ones that usually claim they were "dropped" all had invites left, but they chose not to maximize their options because they thought they were too good for those houses.
Keep an open mind. Be nice to everyone you meet. Go to all your parties and maximize your options. Do these things and there's almost 100% guarantee you will receive a bid. (It might not be to your first choice or "top" house, but you will not be the dreaded "bidless." That really doesn't happen much.)
