GMU is...unlike most schools.

Other fraternities on our campus operate differently.
Good point.

Many IFC/NIC organizations have something similar. An "initial" bid is extended to, and accepted by, the pledge. National and/or chapter by-laws may then require an affirmative vote by the chapter at a later date for initiation. As such, an IFC/NIC bid does not guarantee initiation.

FYI, some IFCs/NICs have this information on their IHQ websites as well.
