We had a girl come through formal rush one year who wanted to join a sorority - ANY sorority - but for all the wrong reasons... she thought it would make her instantly popular, give her an instant circle of friends, and give her the opportunity to meet fraternity guys. We had a lengthy discussion over whether to invite her to pref (I wasn't the only person who thought she wouldn't make a good sister) and we finally voted not to invite her. A few weeks later, she came through informal rush... we had another lengthy discussion, and finally voted not to offer her a bid. In that second discussion I made some comments... so I guess you could say that I'm a large part of why she's not a member.

In my org, once you get a bid, you're in. There's no second vote about whether to initiate each new member, although a girl can be asked to depledge if she, for instance, does something illegal.
