I've been relatively quiet at the rushes because it's such a large group. I mean I talk and everything I just feel too quiet sometimes. But the group has their official meetings once a week, then 2 days later is the rush event night. Last week the house gave out most of it's bids. There are only a few bids left, but there are also only a few girls left still rushing.

I added one of the sisters on fb just to show I was outgoing and everything and she messaged me asking me over for dinner next week, the night before our rush event. The bids that were given out the week before were given out on this night.

What makes me nervous is that I'm being invited over for dinner and then not going to get a bid. I don't have any friends in the house so this is my first real step in getting noticed.

Advice for this situation? Has anyone ever had this happen? Basically any tips to calm my nerves?

We don't know if you're going to get a bid or not obviously.

I will say this, I joined via informal as well. I attended events for a week, and didn't hear anything back for a couple of days. I thought I wsn't getting a bid. Then I was invited to another event by a sister. I wondered the same thing you did (Are they going to invite me to another event just to tell me I'm not getting a bid?) Guess what? I ended up getting one.

At this point, there is probably not a lot you can do except go and see what happens. You may get a bid, you may not. Whether you do or not, at least you have met some new people and become more outgoing.

Good luck!
