this is what i thought also... i am not evening going to bid day b/c i was dropped by all sororities, so i figured i wouldnt get a bid.

But i did learn from my friend that their having an open recruitment party on wednesday at 7. Not sure what goes on here, what to wear, what to expect, how long it should last, how long i should stay... etc... and if i got dropped for my GPA before, wouldnt it mean that my GPA still wouldnt get me in through COB or what?

Im a little confused

That isn't true at all schools - if you drop out of recruitment when you were invited back to a house, you are more than likely not eligible for a snap bid.

However, if you are released from all houses, this is a different story.

absolutely go...dress classy casual and just see what happens.
good luck.

While it is not an NPC Unanimous Agreement, the Greenbook states:
"Resolved, that a rushee who withdraws from the formal membership recruitment process before the signing of her preference card shall be eligible for Snap Bidding and Continuous Open Bidding"
Page 63, NPC Greenbook 13th Edition

NPC asks that perspective member not be penalized for withdrawing from formal recruitment, whenever in the process that occurs. If your campus is not following this recommendation you may want to contact your NPC Area Advisor about changing your Panhellenic recruitment rules.

My campus doesn't have Panhell - so not a problem! I was speaking of other campuses where I know houses will not snap bid you if you dropped out of rush. But since julie didn't drop out, this isn't an issue for her!

I misunderstood and messed with my explanations. Slap me!

I stand humbly corrected http://superbabies.homestead.com/files/embarassed.gif

The only problem here is, I have heard that some chapters are dirty rushing by telling girls to drop out and they will COB them right after formal. These are chapters that will easily take quota, but can take a few extras for ceiling numbers. Great for the girl and great for the chapter, but not good for the chapters who DID invite the girls back and made room at their parties for them.

Personally I think a PNM who does this assuming that whoever told them they would get a COB, is crazy since they have no guarantee of what that chapter will do after formal, but I hear it happens.

Can someone maybe... answer these questions for me or give me some insight on the open bid parties...

the GPA requirement for recruitment i believe only applies to formal recruitment. i could be wrong, but COB is a whole different story than formal. it's more relaxed, the chapters (usually) don't ask for your grades/GPA in advance, and it's as a whole a lot less nervewracking.

My chapter checks official gpa's with the university during COB we do not hand out bids to people who are below our gpa requirement, but that may just be us

thanks guys... that helps a lot :)

It all depends on the sorority as to what happens at the open recruitment parties. I know that at my chapter we held barbeques outside, tried to do a candle party (when we couldn't even burn candles in our dorms :p ), and even had a Super Bowl party. Before I joined my chapter, I went to another organization's party, and I looked through scrapbooks with the sisters and just talked to them about anything and everything. I would definitely go with a classy casual (not really jeans, but definitely not dressed up), and the parties can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours (I'm guessing here). I don't know if your GPA will mean you'll be dropped again this time or not, it depends on the organization and what the Panhellenic on campus requires. Best of luck, Julie!

We are the same way.

GUESS WHAT?!?!
