oh...but this rarely happens, right?

I thought that if you were invited to pref night you're already guaranteed a bid from some house?

No one in recruitment is guaranteed a bid.

It is a good sign if you attend pref, meaning you are generally on the bid list of the chapters you attend, BUT being on the list doesn't = a bid (it's where you ARE on the list that determines that).

But no, pref invites do not mean you're guaranteed a bid.

Some campus Panhellenics do have a policy that:

IF a PNM maximizes her options throughout recruitment and
IF she has one or more chapters to attend for preference and
IF she ranks ALL of her preference party chapters

THEN she is guaranteed a bid to one of her preference party chapters.

Not all campus Panhellenics do this. Ask your Rho Gamma/Rho Chi/Pi Chi/whatever and she will be able to tell you if your school has this policy.
