i appreciate everyone's honesty, thanks. i 'found out' literally the day after bid day, when i was talking to a new member in my first choice and she told me some stuff about bid night and what some of the actives were saying (about me, and how i was suppose to be there). i shrugged that off, but then at retreat, the girls (which they weren't suppose to do) told us how the rush process works and how you can manipulate it to get the girls you want. THEN a girl (who didnt know i wanted to drop) TOLD me that they did some things (which i dont want to include) to get me number one on their list. thats also partially why i dropped- i appreciated that they wanted me, but they should have showed me more then did shady things, that eventually made me uphappy, and left them with one-less new member.

oh, and i know i sound arrogant when i say 'only 3 of the 7' but, honestly those are my friends and who i feel most comfortable around. im not ruling out anyone.

I don't think new members are the authority to be asking, because most nms are new to the process themselves.

There are a ton of people on here who are super knowledgeable about bid matching, but here's a general idea of how it goes:

If you attend a pref party, you ARE on their bid list. Everyone is. It's a matter of WHERE you are on their list.

If Second Choice Sorority put you as their #1 and First Choice Sorority put you farther down on their list, if First Choice already matches quota before they get to your name on the list, you go with Second Choice since you were so high up on their list and you listed them on your bid card.

Second Choice didn't do anything sneaky to get you. They can't move people's names around. You were at the top of their list because they wanted you.
