Hi everyone! This is my first post on here but I need some advice. I participated in formal recruitment this past spring as a freshman, and I didn't get a bid. I was really upset because I have been wanting to be in a sorority for a long time. My best friend got a bid to the chapter that I was completely in love with. They are doing informal recruitment this fall and I was wondering if it would be worth it to participate. I didn't know if reaching out to my friend about it would help me out in getting a bid. I am also concerned because I cannot attend their informal "bid day" because I will be out of town. Will this automatically make me not get one?
