Actually no. I felt I was a "shoe-in" because not only did I know many of the brothers (plus two that are alumni) but because they gave me a warm reception of coming out to hang, and overall chill with them. Then the closest brother that I knew, decided to leave the university because his grades were too low (and thus could not re-enter the program), which may have also played a key part in the no-bid.

Afterwards, when I didn't get the bid, for Bid day they gave me a weird almost isolation feel, but since then have come back to normal.

To redefine what I meant, this family member didn't join any Greek Life Organization, but they do hold a significant position at the institute I'm attending.

@excelblue: When he asked, I said *** hall which people know as a honors dorm.

Thanks for everyone giving me some proper insight.
