Maybe. But, her story and times match up with one Southern, medium sized university that was scheduled to hand out bids at 4:30. This would not surprise me if it actually come out to be true.

I'm going to be nice and not quote you, but I suggest that you edit your last post to remove her school and the sorority names.
What you posted could really affect your daughter if one of her new sisters saw that she was still wishing she could join another sorority (with names listed). With all of the info posted here, it wouldn't be hard for someone from that school to put things together and figure out who she is.
You also would not want your daughter to know that you were discussing the details of her situation (complete with identifying info) on the internet.
Again, not trying to be mean, but putting all of that info out there is not a good idea.

How does "Lakemom" know what bid lists her daughter was on?

If you go to a preference party doesn't it mean you are on the chapter's bid list, somewhere?

The phrase "on the bid list" can be deceiving for many people because it implies this is the list of who will be receiving bids.
When actually, it is just a ranked list of girls who attended pref night and could potentially receive bids based on variables such as quota, pnm rankings, quota additions, etc.
In addition, rarely do members, other than recruitment chair, actually see the chapter bid list in its final form, so no one can ever really say where a pnm fell on the bid list.

Right. Being on the list doesn't mean you're getting a bid there. You simply have the potential to get a bid there because you're on it. Also, there is no way for a PNM to know where she falls on the list.

I just want to emphasize that point. My chapter had no idea who our new members were until less than an hour before all of the Bid Day festivities began. Only our VP of recruitment, membership chair, and chapter advisors knew what was going on in that department.

Hundreds of girls go through recruitment each year. As a sorority member, we understand that not all girls will choose to pledge our specific chapter. We all know what it's like to be on the other side narrowing down choices. Your daughter should choose the sorority she can see herself most comfortable in because when recruitment is over, those girls will be the one's she's left with. Just tell her to follow her heart and everything works out in the end!!
