Is mutual selection really mutual?

Also. It's too late. I already rejected my bid. I got my bid at 10 and we had to decide by noon. And I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to go to bid day crying so I just went home.

I edited my post, once I saw that you did attend #1 and #2. Sorry about that.

As for the computer "freaking out" if you put down 2 choices only, that's Panhell's problem, not yours.

FWIW, I do feel your pain. I think you were giving some bad advice by the Rho Chi, as was I, when I rushed and I also ending up turning down my bid. I do not regret it, but I do regret listening to the advice of the Rho Chi. I would rather have gone bidless, than received a bid from a group that I didn't want.

If it didn't feel right, that's your instincts telling you something. I'm sorry that the result was disappointing but I think it's better to be a GDI than unhappy in the wrong group.

Thanks that def makes me feel better. I just wish I hadn't thought I had to put down all 3. I def would have rather not had a bid. Then I could have done informal in the spring. But since I turned down my bid now I can't.

I'm glad I went through recruitment because I did meet a lot of great girls and it totally shattered all the stereotypes that I had before. At least I came away with some new friends.

You can't rush again until next year. So it may have been a good idea to give #3 a shot.

But what's done is done at this point.

This serves as some good advice to PNMs, really think before you sign your final card because if you do, make sure you're willing to take a bid from any group you list.
