I'm a member of a professional music fraternity in addition to Phi Mu. I know that it can be different at different schools, but all three music GLO's at my school (Mu Phi Epsilon, Phi Mu Alpha, and Sigma Alpha Iota) are required to issue bids to all who attend the open rush nights, as long as they have a high enough GPA and have at least one semester of college under their belts (to establish said GPA).
I know this is different at other chapters, though. One regular poster (I wish I could remember her name, but I can't) pointed out that her chapter is allowed to select those to whom they offer bids, just as social GLO's are. I guess it just depends on the chapter and/or existing rules at the school.
Then, too...I think, since SAI is all-female, they're not completely under the "professional" designation, which may allow chapters to make their own decisions regarding bids. (The same goes for Phi Mu Alpha, which is all-male). Mu Phi Epsilon is co-ed nationally, if not necessarily in every chapter, so I don't think they have as much control over selection.
I don't have experience with other music GLO's, so I couldn't say what applies for them. Nor am I in any other professional GLO's. But that's what seems to work for those three here.
