I'm assuming you went through informal or COR, right? Otherwise, how did you recieve more then one bid, unless it's locals your talking about.

I'd be wary if I knew that someone that we gave a bid to turned it down, and then depledged within a week or two....but that's me.

Give it another shot, you never know.

...nope, it definitely was formal with national sororities. We got to choose which houses we wanted to check out and attend as many of their parties as we want to. If any of the parties' times clashed, you'd choose the one you liked more and attend their party to show them your preference. Next the invitation only parties and bid day.



btw-Thanks for all the feedback ya'll!

actually since going to each sorority on campus wasn't "mandatory" it probably wasn't formal...right? But it wasn't COB...we had to go through the whole process, y'know. COB started after bid day, but only certain sororities decided to do it.

Sorry for the confusion with formal/informal

Now that many campuses are moving to partially structured or minimally structured recruitment methods, the lines are more blurred and things can be done very differently. It's going to take a while before everybody understands how these work. On most campuses, I imagine they will still refer to it as "formal recruitment", even though it's actually PSR or MSR because there is still a set time period during which occurs and it's not quite like COR.

From the way that I took PSR and MSR though you still could only get one bid. Seeing as how she was able to recieve more then one bid, it was probalby informal.

I am pretty sure they do traditional formal @ her school as well.

From the cheat sheet on all four styles that I have, it says that there is no bid matching for MSR. Therefore, I would assume that a woman could receive more than one bid that way.

I've also heard of schools that have very formalized informal recruitments. That could be a possibility here as well.

I've been seeing all kinds of interpretations of the new formats, but, one of them is even "Informal", which would be like COB but I've seen some campuses do this and still have a time limit to it.
