It is only if you SIGN A BID CARD and then quit pledging that you are ineligible for a year. You can decline 20 bids in 20 days and take #21 with no problem.

xorosho - what you may be thinking is that in formal rush, after you sign your pref card, you are bound to the sororities you wrote on that card. In other words, signing a bid card = signing a bid.

If you don't sign anything you're fine. If XYZ pressures you, just let them know that you are keeping an open mind and looking at more than one sorority and you would like time to finish that process before you sign a bid with anyone. If they can't understand that, it is not a place you want to be.

ASTalumna06 - maybe she could technically with that rule we discussed, but I can't imagine how that would be a positive way to conduct oneself. Like I said, if XYZ wants her badly enough, they will wait and offer her another bid if the first one expires, rather than playing on her (and other rushees') worry that they won't get bids from groups that are not making decisions until later.
