Chapters that are under total simply due to senior graduation and who always make quota in formal recruitment do not typically participate in informal during the fall, but there might be some chapters who will.

However, if you signed a preference card and then received and declined a bid, then you are not to eligible to participate in fall COB. You are bound for 1 year to the group that offered you a bid. Your next opportunity will be formal recruitment.

You are right, AZ-AlphaXi! Thanks for catching that.

You might want to PM ADqtPiMel. She went to Miami Ohio (and her little bio sister is an active in a chapter there as well), so she could give you campus-specific info.

Did you decline your bid on bid day or did you go to NM meetings for a little while before depledging?

You ask for your chances of receiving a bid to the chapter you want. This will depend greatly on which chapter you want. In any case, no one on GC would be able to say, ok, you have a XX% chance of getting a bid at XYZ chapter.

Are you a better candidate this year? As in, have your grades improved/stayed high? Are you involved in any campus activities? Do you have friends pulling for you? Keep in mind, those factors still might not outweigh having depledged (though the stigma of depledging is different on different campuses).
