Right, but if you don't *promise* a bid, you just tell her that you are certain your chapter will be doing COR, what rule have you broken?
Again, it is dirty, and I wouldn't advise a chapter to do it, I am just saying that it is a problem I've seen with SIP. IMO, if you SIP a chapter, you should not be eligible for a bid there in the same year.

Now that's just overboard. Especially when you have a campus that only has a few groups. If you SIP a chapter, it's pretty clear you have your heart set on that chapter, and shouldn't be excluded from pursuing that chapter if they have space available after formal. I agree that it could *possibly* leave the door open for dirty rushing, but it's just as easy for a sorority to tell a PNM to drop out of rush, and they'll bid them COB that way (yes, we did have a group that tried that at my school).
Either way, I'd personally be insulted if a sister told me to drop or SIP because they didn't have space at formal, but they'll make space for you at COB. I would tell that sister, "Either you want me bad enough for your bidlist, or go jump".

Me too. Why would you trust that you'd get a COB bid if you didn't get a bid during formal? If this was your best friend, and your chapter didn't want her enough to rank her high on the bid list, would you really want her waiting on COB?
liltrixx, good luck. I hope you enjoy the new school you go to!

I will be re-applying to UF and possibly FSU...not sure if I will rush again (though there is a VERY good possibility). I am very at peace with my decision and feel that this semester was a learning one that I needed to take. My parents are very supportive and think I am doing the right thing. Thanks everyone for reading  |
Sorry we hijacked your thread. Good luck in your future plans!

No problem...there was just no use in beating a dead horse over rushing and whatnot....We'll see how it goes (maybe) next year
