Here's a quick answer. You can only get one bid. But unfortunetly you aren't guaranteed a bid. You put down your top two (or three) choices by order of preference. There is an entire bid matching process that is somewhat complicated but know this. If you put down two or three choices, you should be prepared to accept a bid from any of these sororities.

You may come across the term "suicide" and that means you only put down one choice. That is fine IF they extend you a bid but id you don't you're screwed.

Also, I believe this is nationwide, if you put down more than one sorority on your bid card but DON'T accept a bid from them once it is extended, you can't join another sorority until next year.

There are other methods of getting bids after the formal rush period is over so if you don't get a bid, not all hope is lost.

Your Rush Counselor can answer your questions in more depth and read more threads on this board. The women here are wonderful.

Good luck with Rush!

And what if a rushees choices don't match up with the sorority who wants her? Will there still be a bid offered or do they have to be the same? Does it really all come down to the luck of identical order, like it seems?
