Congrats, and welcome to the bond!

That said, I feel a need to respond to some of the other things posted here as a member of Phi Mu who knows membership selection inside and out.

During informal recruitment, the RC can say whatever she wants to a PNM. If she said something like "It's your choice, not ours" to Christi, that merely means that they really like her and are prepared to give her a bid. It does NOT mean they are prepared to give anyone a bid.

It can be tough to gauge a PNM's interest, and it can be hard to time a bid. You don't want to wait too long and have her look elsewhere, but you don't want to offer it too early and appear desperate for members.

Therefore, it is very possible that the RC liked her a lot and was trying to feel out the timing of the bid.

Also, I won't talk too much about membership selection, but it is presumptious of others on this thread to do so. You have no idea who votes on a girl or who authorizes COB's. Don't pretend you do when giving advice to PNM's. Thanks.
