I suicided

USCmtg · #1 08-24-2014, 11:31 PM

I suicided because I absolutely did not want to be in the other sorority. The other one made me think that I was definitley getting a bid by what they said. However I got dropped today. I know that I can't get a snap bid because I suicided but what's the likelihood of me getting a bid during COB?

Actually you were eligible for a snap bid, you just were not eligible to be a quota addition.

The chapter you SIPed made quota, so unless the chapter is under total, they will not be offering COB bids.

Ha, clairvoyant? Based on the OP's username and the schools that have already finished recruitment, you can figure out where she most likely goes to school. I assume AZ-AlphaXi knows that all of the chapters there made quota, hence her definitive statement.

They would've had to have made quota for OP not have received a bid from them, yes?

Yes.

(with a few very very very very unlikely exceptions)

Yep .. Deductive reasoning says that the chapter had to have made quota or she would have received a bid from them. Since she didn't, that means that she was on their bid list below where they stopped when reaching quota.

I'm pretty certain every chapter there made quota. Every chapter at this university is amazing and I find it pretty sad that you felt you were "too good" to be in one of these sororities. I can also tell you that this campus does so well that they rarely have COB events in the spring. In fact, for the chapters that choose to COB, they usually only take a handful of (meaning like 5) ladies. Next time, you should give EVERY chapter a chance. I mean, that "other sorority" was willing to consider you.

The only way to know for sure if there will be any open recruitment is to contact your Greek Life office and ask. If they have a list, put your name on the list.

In the mean time, pick yourself up and dust yourself off and get involved on campus. There are other organizations and activities that you can do. Your school is a big place with a lot of wonderful people and wonderful things to do. Go find them.

We all need to remember that a new NPC rule is automatically resetting campus total to either average chapter size or median chapter size within 72 hours of bid day. On most campuses, this creates a few open spots for chapters that made quota but need to grow a bit to catch up in size (may have had a large group of seniors graduate in the spring, for example).

Local Panhel has to vote to use the rule, and not everyone has accepted it yet. I don't know the situation here.

They can choose to reset total to largest chapter size, mean chapter size or median chapter size.

Not wanting to join a specific chapter =/= thinking you're too good for said chapter.

I really wish people would quit using that as a definitive statement.

There are plenty of reasons to not feel comfortable in a group.

How many times has GC given one woman grief for "taking a spot" for a chapter she didn't think she wanted and another woman praise for "giving the group a try" even when she didn't think she fit in with the group? This poster chose to SIP and it didn't work out. Now she has to deal with the outcome.

Good Luck OP with whatever you do!

Those chapters are huge. I find it hard to believe that anyone would have a hard time fitting in to a group of 130 NMs. als may have been harsh, but she's pretty spot on.

This. Completely.

HOWEVER, OP, ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances. My family is constantly reminding young folks we know that choices have consequences.

I guess I'm still not used to this "somewhere on the list if you're at pref" stuff and thought that she could have not been on their bid list at all.
