Recruitment annoyance

[ForeverRoses]

I hope this isn't a huge hjack, but...

For how long are bids good? Or how long does someone have to decide that they will accept or decline? I vaguely remember a girl that started the new member program with my class, decided to drop out, but then in the spring decided to take her bid back and ended up being initiated in the spring with that new member class. If I remember correctly, once you accepted a bid, it was good for a year (but maybe that was just our panhellenic rule).

We had this happen too (and I wish we could have taken the bid back, but that's another story) and yes, the bid is good for a year.
