The key is whether or not you ACCEPT the bid. Once you ACCEPT the bid, you are bound to them until the NEXT FORMAL RECRUITMENT PERIOD. Usually ACCEPTING a bid during COB entails going to the Greek Life office and letting them know that they have extended you a bid and you have accepted. Normally, someone from the chapter will excort you there. Now, if they are giving a large number of bids, not just one or two, they may have you sign something they will take to the Greek Life office and you wouldn't have to go.
Either way, you have to sign before you are bound to them. It can get a little tricky to be diplomatic enough if they offer before you are ready to make a decision. Just be ready to tell them that you are looking at all your options and try to find out how long you have to decide. They may put a time limit on you. Keep in mind that you have no idea what will happen with the other groups and the one in your hand may be the only one you receive. So give this a great deal of thought and be ready with a nice, polite, loving answer...whatever it may be.
