Just curious, but how do you know this for certain? Bid matching at all schools is supposed to be private. Is this something you heard straight from someone involved with recruitment like a recruitment counselor or someone who worked in the Greek Life office? Or is this something you "heard" from a sorority member?

I'm just confused because if you were matched but for some reason they lost your actual card, someone should have contacted you right away and let you know that there'd been a mix-up and that you were invited to join ____ and you were on their list but they just couldn't find your card.
