Re-Rushing

[AlphaXi1997]

I just wanted to point out that if you sign a bid card during Formal Recruitment and don't maximize your opportunities (meaning that you only put down one sorority), you are not allowed to join another NPC sorority on that campus for a full calendar year. So, if you "suicide" Alpha in Fall 2007, you can't join Alpha, Beta, or any other NPC in Spring 2008. You have to wait until Fall 2008 and either go through Formal Recruitment again or hope that your preferred sorority has spots available during COB. There are definite downfalls to suiciding and that's why Recruitment Counselors are supposed to steer pnm's away from it.

I think this is a campus rule..I've never heard that.

Wait... I know that's not what happens on my campus. Typically, we have several girls who decide to suicide and are not matched. They are usually picked up during COB - normally by the chapter they suicided if they're not at total. Are you sure that's a universal Panhellenic rule? Perhaps that's just at your campus?

I'm pretty sure that's a panhellenic rule.

If you sign a bid card and receive a bid and decline the bid... then you can't join for a year. That's the rule I know about.
