Hope things work out today for all of the FSU girls.
And for the mom's and dad's, encourage your daughters to go to Preference as I know girls who were dropped by their favorite only to have a great experience at Pref and really click with the houses they go to. They are only obligated if they sign their Pref card, so they have nothing to lose by attending parties.
And the general explanation of the bid lists are pretty accurate. If a woman receives an invitation to Pref she is definitely on that chapter's bid list and that is a real indication that the chapter would accept her as a new member. With the bid list though it is just a matter of where the PNM falls along the list. And the way recruitment is organized, Greek Life does their best to match a PNM with her preferred chapter. However, that does not guarantee a first preference match.
I knew many girls who received their second (or third) choices and had a GREAT greek experience - chapter leaders, campus leaders, you name it things can all work out. And my advice to girls is that you can be happy wherever you make your mind up to be happy.
Thanks for sharing your stories - we will be thinking happy and positive thoughts for all of you!!
