You seem to think she's lying to you. She told you it would be possible, possibly because she screwed up, for you to receive a bid despite the late date. You're asking us if it's possible for you to receive a bid. We don't know, your greek adviser gave you the best answer you can get.

There is no excuse for someone like the Greek coordinator not knowing every rule in the Green book. Having said that, the damned thing can be awfully tricky to understand. There are SO many nuances & permutations that effect rush. I wish you all the best in finding your home.

Many schools pay the Greek life director a pittance - that is, if it's actually a regular paid position and not a grad student on assistantship - and many schools also could care less if the person they hire has any Greek experience at all, or if they don't, if they will make an attempt to learn.

Sigh, agreed. I've also seen where the Greek Life Director is the director of all student activities, so Greek life (not to mention recruitment) is the 4th or 5th hat that s/he is wearing. It can get really frustrating working with a Greek Advisor who really isn't focused on Greek advising.
