To my knowledge, this was not a
Panhellenic rule at my campus - in fact, I know of one poor woman (Jane Doe) who went to several Prefs without getting a bid before she was finally recruited for a new colony. As a chapter, we felt that an invitation to Pref meant that we would issue a bid to each woman, with the clause "unless she turned into a Lizzie Borden overnight". We were also quite disgusted as a chapter at the GLOs who preffed the woman I mentioned in the first paragraph but didn't offer her a bid. I can still remember driving by the one house after Pref, and seeing Jane Doe all excited, and then hearing the next day that the house where we had seen Jane only took 3 (out of 11) pledges. It just seemed demeaning.
Sorority Belle, I can understand your disappointment, yet since you have accepted the invitation to another GLO, I hope you give them a chance. Hell, I hope you do so well there that your kinfolk wonder why
they weren't members of *your* GLO!!
Good luck to you -
