Unusual depledging/rushing again situation

[aephi alum]

I think she'd be bound to the other organization for one year from the day she pledged. That's the rule for informal recruitment, and I'd think the same would apply here. By accepting the bid to the other org, she implicitly declined your bid.

She can rush again next fall, of course.

Ditto...I agree -- She waits one year and is eligible next fall.

LBK_KPD- was the other org a local as well? If so, then I guess the rule is open for a little interpretation. If it's NPC then I would agree that yes, she waits one year. I guess I would check the wording on the rule about the bids the PNM recieved. Does it say bids recieved or does it say bids accepted?

Sory, I am not sure what the problem is here.

She got two bids, whe pledged on and was not happy and depledged.

If the school says she has to wait a year then so be it.

She can hang out for certain functions and maybe she decides not to join that group either.

Maybe she should not be a member of any group?

Please refer to the quote in my signature on this matter.

Edited beacuse my response was unique to a particular school, and not necessarily representative of NPC.

I think that must be a rule your school specifically has (or that specific NPC sorority). My school has 6 NPC sororities and there are times girls have depledged a chapter they joined during formal recruitment and joined another chapter during the following years' formal recruitment. If they had to wait a year by the date they depledged, then none would've been allowed a bid (as formal recruitment is at the same time virtually every year and most of these girls gave their original 'homes' at least 2-3 weeks before depledging).

ForeverRoses: Our campus is a Panhellenic campus, although we do have local organizations (including my own) as part of the Panhellenic Council, so we're all subject to the NPC rules.

I was inclined to think that she would be ineligiable once she accepted one of her bids and then depledged. I know she will be eligiable for Fall '07 recruitment, as I know several women on my campus who have depledged their original houses in the fall, so I'm not concerned about the "calendar year" technicality.

Thanks all for your information on the matter!

Bear, you may be correct. Probably the best bet is to ask the campus Panhel or Greek advisor.
