thanks everyone for posting on here! i have plenty of time before rush, so i have time to analyze what i want to do with the rest of my time in college. Even with such a large greek presence on campus, the sororities really talk about that one girl that dropped their house? but actually i know several girls that have dropped different houses, are we written in a book somewhere to never offer us a bid?

Sorority members do remember girls who get bids (even when it is not to their own chapter).

I don't know anyone's chapter policies (if they make it a point to not offer a bid to previously pledged woman or not), but the other sororities could potentially think "well she got a bid and dropped last time, what if WE bid her and she does the same to us?"

I don't claim to know what any chapter is going to do (each chapter is different), but this is something to think about. You're up against freshmen with NO history with the Greek system and chapters DO have to make cuts. It's possible that a chapter could assume you'd do the same to them and drop you.

Honestly though, what's done is done and you can't change it. Just prepare and present yourself the best you can.

Difference is, she didn't just get a bid and turn it down. She was in the middle of pledging.

I know. I was just making the point that girls in chapters know in most cases who got a bid from where. So when they see her in recruitment, it is very possible that a girl might be like "didn't she pledge _____ last year? What happened?"

Not to mention the fact that members of one chapter DO TALK to women in other chapters about goings-on.
