Quick question for your savvy NPC women: How can this person be eligible for Recruitment 2012? Doesn't she have to wait a FULL CALENDAR YEAR from when she renounced the group that she accepted the bid from? (i.e. the one that she dropped just before initiation) Assuming that she "stuck it out" for 6 weeks or so beyond bid acceptance day (or however long the pledge period lasts), is this even permissible?

She is bound to that bid for a full "bid year" from the day it was extended to her. By full calendar year, it really means from the previous year's formal recruitment bid day to this year's. Sometimes it isn't quite a full calendar year if the dates of recruitment change a bit; say bid day was September 5 last year and it's September 1 this year, but that's the spirit of the rule.

Agree with all the previous posts, and it doesn't matter how long she stuck it out, it just matters when she received the bid. So a woman who signed her preference card and never showed up to bid day would be eligible at the same time that a woman who stuck it out until the day before initiation is (assuming both pledged in the same "season/semester/quarter").

To add to this, it isn't necessarily always a full calendar year if recruitment dates change. But if the PNM went thru formal fall recruitment last year,received a bid and did not see it thru to initiation, she would be eligible to re-rush when the school's formal fall recruitment rolls around next year.
