Whether they will be upset about you not accepting the bid really depends on the sorority and also how you go about recruitment.

My chapter has encountered that situation and most of the time we understood and didn't hold it against them as long as they were honest and polite. We did have a girl come to informal events and talk about how much she liked us and when we extended her a bid she declined it cause she wanted to go somewhere else. She didn't get a bid there and went through in the spring and spent all her time in our room talking about how awesome we were. Unfortunately sister's had gotten under the impression that she had played us (whether this is true i'm reserving judgement on) and she was eventually cut.

If you're not sure if you're going to accept be careful that you're not overly into the sorority just to secure yourself a bid. Remeber inside the sorority there could be girls that are incredibly excited about you and want you to be a sister. There is nothing more heartbreaking then the girl you would love as a new member telling you that she belongs in XYZ and she's meant to be there and then she doesn't accept a bid. It can leave a bad taste in your mouth

Just be interested and honest and yourself but dont lay it on too thick if you're not 100% sure. Remeber, and this goes to all PNMs Sorority Girls Talk!!
