yes, it is. but it depends on the sorority, and the school. some pnm's (potential new members) get slap bidded. this means that they weren't number one on either side: suzie ranked 1: xyz, 2: abc. both xyz and abc picked suzie second. she does not receive a bid. however, the alumnae of xyz can slap bid suzie because she was still ranked as a second choice, thus a slap bid. (this is how it works on my campus. yours might just do bid, or no bid.)

I think you're refering to snap bidding.

If you are referring back to the original scenario, then no...there is no possibility that you would not receive a bid if you made it onto both chapters first bid lists. The problem is that you would never know where you ended up on a bid list.

Unfortunately, the answer is yes, but there are some innovative programs where that likelihood is reduced. I would ask the greek (or panhellenic) adviser about this. Each school is different.

Good luck!
