Contact the Office of Greek Life and report it. The chapter needs to review their Green Book and recruitment practices.

You didn't do anything wrong, and you're not going to get in trouble for reporting the chapter's error. If anything, you will be helping this chapter get back on the right track.

Human error is normal in recruitment. Consider that the women in these leadership positions and their volunteer advisers are new to their roles, and in many cases, executing a recruitment for the first time. Mistakes happen, and it is unfortunate this occured.

Does anyone have a Green Book handy? Please correct me if any of the following statements are not current:

I'm not certain whether it's one calendar year or the remainder of the school year, but once a bid is extended, isn't it valid for a full (school/calendar) year?

I've been at schools where too many bids have been extended through human error, and it puts a chapter above quota/total, but the chapter is allowed the extra member because it isn't the PNM's error, and she shouldn't have to go bidless because of a computer or human error.

If you didn't sign a bid card, then you're free to re-rush this school year. Check out the Rush Forum for helpful tips, but remember to take advice on this board with a grain of salt, and to consult your own university's Office of Greek Life for real-life statistics and advice about your recruitment.
