The one year rule only applies to any bid you receive from a chapter you listed on your MRABA at the end of formal recruitment or any accepted (signed) bid outside of formal recruitment.

It's there to prevent PNMs from listing all their chapters in hopes of getting their fave as a QA if they plan to decline a bid from a certain chapter (which would make quota artificially high). This is why PNMs should only list chapters they would accept on their MRABA.

I'm glad you gave this chapter a shot after formal recruitment to get a different look at them. Keep in mind, not all chapters on your campus may be participating in informal recruitment. Realize that depending on your campus, this chapter may be the only chance for you to be Greek.

You don't have to answer this, just something for you to think about, if you were released from all chapters except the one you don't want, why will they want you next time? Take time to think about why you may have been cut and what you can do to improve, whether it's "on paper" qualifications or presentation/conversation or knowing chapter members.
