Oh, I have no doubt that formal recruitment is vastly different from informal recruitment. But, I don't see why the bid itself - the invitation to become a member - should be different. That's the inequality I'm talking about. If a bid is intended to signify the chapter's desire for a woman to join, I don't see why some bids are more binding than others. A bid is a bid is a bid...
I like AGDee's suggestion of a different time period - maybe a semester or 6 months or something. If this were applied across the board, regardless of what type of recruitment was involved, I think it would help. (Except from a paperwork POV. I'd hate to have to be the one to track which women were issued which bids on which days. Ugh.)
