Beware, though! This may not hold true for all orgs!

This was the rule when I was in school (on my campus). In fact, we had a girl that didn't get initiated for personal reasons, then re-rushed the next year. We were told by our advisor that her bid from us was still good until pref night. So she could decide the day of pref that she really wanted her bid with us and not go through pref or even go to pref, not sign her bid card and re-accept her bid with us. It was really screwy and I haven't heard of other schools with this rule (note: it was not just my org, it was a campus panhel rule as far as I can tell, since another group did have someone renew their bid after attempting to re-rush).
