5) it just seems unfair to bind me to a bid and prevent me from joining a house I did like if u are not going to give me a chance.

1) You were offered a bid and made a choice (good or bad) not to accept it. Now you want to change your mind. It does not work that way.
2) Bids are not necessarily "good for one whole year". Bids may be good until you decline them. Once you decline them, you don't have the rest of the year to change your mind. It does not work that way.
3) She is correct, she is not obligated to re-extend you a bid.
4) I call BS as to what the "greek office" said. They can't force a chapter to bid you after you've already declined your bid.
5) They gave you a chance (when apparently no other houses did), you SAID NO! Now you want to change your mind. You reap what you sow.
This house doesn't "owe" you anything, and you forcing yourself upon them seems pretty pathetic and entitled. Despite not being at total, they don't have to take anyone that they don't want to.
