Greeks question fairness of Bid House
By TANYA SASSER
Staff Writer of THE BATTALION
Although Bid House is intend
ed to add excitement and prestige
to becoming a fraternity pledge,
many members expressed discon
tent with the events that took
place Friday evening.
Bid House is the culmination of
fraternity rush each semester that
takes place at the systems build
ing. Each rushee goes into the
building and picks up a bid, or in
vitation, to join a fraternity.
The rushee then exits the front
of the systems building and goes
to the fraternity he has chosen.
The fraternities are assembled on
the lawn of the systems building,
dressed in their letters, holding
signs and cheering for the
rushees.
Shannon Kelly, alumni adviser
for Chi Phi, said Bid House is un
fair to the smaller fraternities that
aren't getting many pledges.
"The fraternities that have a
large number of pledges get more
attention so the smaller frats tend
to get squeezed out to where
they're barely seen," he said. "It's
upsetting to the smaller frats
when they have about five guys
running down the stairs. It's not
good for the morale of the frater
nity."
Dr. Mike Leese, coordinator of
Greek affairs, said there were
more problems with alcohol and
rowdiness this year than ever be
fore.
"They were a lot more unset
tled than usual this year," he said.
"There are some concerns about
going back to staking off plots.
Leese said these problems will be
addressed during the IFC meeting
tonight.
According to Leese, Bid House
is part of formal rush and, like all
rush events, should not involve
alcohol.
"They have been told not to do
it," he said. "We had a worse
problem with it than we ever
have. We had problems with sev
eral chapters - two in particular."
Kelly said Bid House, in gener
al, is a good idea but there are cer
tain aspects that need to be re
evaluated.
"It's a neat idea but some of the
small frats tend to get apathetic,"
he said. "There should be a little
more organization on the part of
the IFC. I think marking off plots
would be a good idea so that
everyone can have an equal
chance."
Leese said the IFC will possibly
use Gamma, which is made up of
two members of every fraternity
and sorority, to police Bid House.
A case can be filed against a
fraternity, even at Bid House, he
said. It is a concern and it will be
addressed in the IFC meeting.
"We are going to do anything
we can to keep this from happen
ing in January," Leese said.

You can rely on Kaplan LSAT prep.
The Roman Numerals question format, sometimes called
Triple True/False, has not appeared on the LSAT since Feb
ruary 1991. Kaplan caught the change. Not by accident,
but because we have a team of professionals dedicated to
analyzing the LSAT. Kaplan updated all lectures, mate>
