Accepting a bid, but postponing pledging?
I advise at a school with a small (2 sororities), but growing Greek system. Last year quota was 6. This year, I'm guesstimating 10-12. I received a question from a chapter member today that some of the PNMs are asking. If they go through recruitment and are offered a bid, can they wait to pledge in spring after saving money for dues. I know bids are good for a year, but I've never actually seen someone come, say, 9 months later and accept their bid the pledge. What happens if we are already at/over total in spring? Can we pledge them? If they are part of our quota and accept, but don't pledge, could we still COB to total if we need to?
I've never encountered NM asking this before. It would absolutely be best for BOTH chapters if these PNMs pledged in fall and I really want to know how to respond to PNMs who are weighing this option. Can someone help me?
