We havnt had to go to a rush party yet and I have not recieved a bid but Ive been going to the frat parties and they know I want to pledge. Maybe that helps...

Be careful with your terminology! You are not "pledging" until you have been extended and accepted a bid. If you go to the fraternity's rush parties and misuse the terminology, the brothers could get the mistaken idea that you think you're "owed" a bid or you think you're "automatically" in the chapter. You are RUSHING, not PLEDGING at this point.

You are participating in rush to hopefully get a bid which is an invitation to join a certain fraternity. You may or may not receive a bid at the culmination of rush week. Hopefully you will and we wish you the best of luck!

And when you accept that bid, then you will pledge the fraternity -- the first step in becoming a member.

Good luck!
