It is stated in our constitution and by-laws that once that bid card is signed, then you are considered a SISTER with the same rights and privileges as any other sister. The ONLY exception is that they don't know ritual.

The method in which Sigma gave out bids is similar to Alpha Phi Omega. APO gives anyone a chance to
pursue membership, but not everyone will be successful in that pursuit. You are not a brother until you complete the requirements for pledging and are initiated. Dionysus can back me up on this one. I'm not sure but I think Gamma Sigma Sigma might work the same way. Because of the policy that the choice to pursue membership is nonselective, there has to be some way to determine fitness for membership.
For the kabillionth time, Sigma is not an NPC sorority and does not have to obey the dictates of the NPC. So they can say pledge, pledge, pledge 24/7 if it tickles their fancy.
and I agree, anyone who chooses not to rush because of this show probably also believes that Allison could feasibly become president of D & D after working there a year, and 6 months of that as a receptionist. (flagrant Melrose Place reference)
