This actually does sound exactly like what the bf tells me happens with the men's rush at his alma mater. He received a bid during the summer too.

But from what the guys on here have already said, it sounds pretty normal but I think it is binding.

Now did the chapter turn in your name as now having received a bid and no longer "available"? I ask because when the bf got his bid, they didn't turn in his name "so he could continue going to summer rush parties and get free beer" and it sounds like that was a normal thing back then. But, I only know stories and no 1st hand knowledge.
