Quite frankly, I think the only person who should be at bid signing is the Greek life or student life advisor, or if they're clueless the regional Panhel rep, and the rho chis shouldn't be there at all. (I don't remember any of our rho chis being there at all when I did mine.) They should be the ones who know the Green Book rules, the impact of signing a bid and being legally bound. But I'm sure the school likes it better if the rho chis are the ones who tell the rushees what to do - total CYA measure.
If it's a huge rush, and no way for everyone to talk to the GA personally, then there should be instructions posted on every table/desk/writing surface on what exactly you are doing, the way there are when you go to vote.

This is wrong. I normally don't say this, but in this instance if you were truly completely unaware of the one year rule, I would say you have a legal case. There should have been something somewhere on the bid card you signed that mentioned the one year rule or you should have been informed orally before you signed.
