CAN I PLEASE BE IN BOTH SORORITIES?? PLEASE?

I had SUCH an amazing time tonight. This time my first party was at Metric. They upped their game this time and had a beautifully decorated room that was the essence of their philanthropy. I had a lot of fun here doing the craft (mine was the prettiest ) and I got to know a lot more of the sisters. I liked everyone I met at the party and it gave me a deeper insight about how the girls interact with one another. The philanthropy didn't really have much meaning for me, I felt like it was identical to numerous other organizations except with a different theme. The next party of course was Blue October, who once again wins for the most amazing decorations. Their philanthropy is so non cookie cutter and I felt like it has so much meaning and the organization is one I feel is necessary for the people it helps. The craft here was really cute and I met two new sisters who were both extremely informative and welcoming and I immediately fell in love with them. A video of the philanthropy was shown and a slideshow about the chapter's involvement with it was later shown, and they were both adorable. I left feeling extremely happy and I cant wait for tomorrow night. Sororities make cuts tonight and we find out tomorrow morning about our preference invites!

As of right now, my whole take is:
1. I like all of the girls I've met so far in Blue October, and most of the girls in Metric
2. I like everything about Blue October, except for the letters which I can get over
3. I don't really know enough about Metric to make serious judgments
4. I really hope I get invited back to Blue October, I would still like to see more of Metric but if I don't that's perfectly okay.

There were a lot of girls who didn't show up tonight because "philanthopy night isn't important". wtf? I guess they weren't paying attention on info night and forgot about the whole sorority cut thing tonight. Their loss.

Also can anyone explain to me about the whole snap bid thing? From what I understand, a girl who didn't attend any recruitment events but is interested can get a bid. Isn't that like getting around the rules?

Also, some hints about my school and the sororities:
1. It's a southeastern university
2. Both sororities are three letter orgs.

I was asked why I didn't list the sororities at the beginnning, and that's becuase I didnt want it to turn into an either/or guessing game kinda thing.

Okay so I'll update quickly tomorrow morning after I get my invite info!!
I'm nervous and excited at the same time lol!

That's not snap bidding.

Snap bidding is part of the bid matching process of formal recruitment. It allows for girls who maybe didn't get a bid from either chapter they preffed, to get a bid from a chapter they may have released (or a chapter that may have cut them) earlier in the process. But you do have to attend all formal recruitment events to be eligible for one.

It's a little difficult to explain, but this thread has a pretty good explanation of it:

I think you're thinking of COB or Informal. Girls who don't get bids, or didn't do formal recruitment can attend informal recruitment events and potentially receive a bid. But it's not automatic. There's also no guarantee that chapters will have informal recruitment when formal is over.

exactly. If a chapter is a Total after formal recruitment, they will not be able to COB. So girls who drop out of recruitment in hopes that they will be picked up in COB are doing themselves a disservice because if the chapter they want meets quota/total, they wont be allowed to recruit anymore.
