Tomorrow is the second (and last, from my understanding) invitation only party. On Saturday, they will be considered new members.

Well, the thing is, unlike in formal recruitment, if a PNM attends the Alpha Phi preference party, you have a pretty good idea that she's interested in joining the sorority. In formal recruitment, where you're going to 2-3 houses, you might be less interested or even not interested at all in one of the houses, for example. Whereas if you had gone to Alpha Phi events and decided it wasn't for you, you probably wouldn't go to preference at all. So is there really a need for multiple bid lists? I would guess they're going to bid the number of women they want in the colony, maybe plus a few. But I almost can't imagine that the women who go to the Alpha Phi preference night would then go on to reject a bid - unless there were extreme extenuating circumstances like their parents having a hissy or something.
Sooooo exciting! I can't wait to see pictures of the new colony!
