There is something going on with a new member in my sorority so I think I can shed some light on this subject. From one year from the date you accept a bid (if you go through formal recruitment and fill out a pref card then you AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPT THE BID YOU ARE GIVEN!!!! You can decline to actually pledge though- THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS) but as I said from one year of the date you accept a bid you are affiliated with that sorority. At the end of that one year period if you have not been initiated you are released from that sorority and elgible to pledge to another NPC group. I only know this because one of our new members will not be initiated by her one year date so we have to wait until next January to REpledge her and initiate her then (and I love her and don't want to lose her for even two months!) I had to ask internationals how to deal with the situation and that is what they told me.
