It has been my general experience on my campus and in my own organization that a bid is not necessarily a guarantee of initiation. I know that my organization, as well as others at my school, go through intense deliberation before extending bids, as well as before determining which new members will become sisters. Of course, I don't think any organization would take the decision to drop a new member lightly; while a bid isn't a guarantee of membership, it is still something significant. When new members have been dropped on my campus, it is usually for something pretty major, be it some kind of drama, inappropriate behavior, inadequate application to the new member process, or general discord between the new member and the active sisters. I think that if once a new member begins her process and it is revealed that she is not right for that chapter, for whatever reason, it becomes a significant problem. Much better to identify and combat the problem ahead of time, instead of initiating this member and having to deal with these issues permanently.
