I'm not sure I get it. They're talking about informal recruitment (I assume) and state that women have received multiple bids and have to choose one and sign it, but then they say this:

"Not everyone is guaranteed a spot within the Greek organization despite receiving a bid, and this is something Diehl said she realized."

Are they confused about bids vs. invitations? Are they just plain wrong? Or is there some sort of system at EIU where signing bids is 'first come first serve', and if a woman takes too long to make up her mind, her bid will become invalid because another woman with a bid has taken her spot already?

Anyone familiar with the campus and know the answer?
We have a chapter there (have for around 45 years) and I've always thought this campus was fairly traditional, i.e. rush is run there like it is most places. I think this silly boy just has the terminology wrong.
