Formal recruitments are normally about a year apart. The only time a bid would expire before a year is up is a COB one that was issued a good time after FR. And since bids can't be issued in the summer, you aren't talking about that many instances. Say FR is in Aug/Sept. Those bids don't expire till the next Aug/Sept. If a chapter does COB in November or January, those people could drop out and then do FR again in Aug/Sept.
What's wrong with that? Do you want someone to be eligible to accept a bid elsewhere at any time? Like if FR is over today and tomorrow I decide to drop my group, I could accept a bid from another one on Tuesday? Is that what you are advocating? Even the NCAA doesn't allow that with athletic scholarship recipients. You ahve to sit out a year at the new school. At least with NPC, if you transfer, you are good to go with another group.
