The MRABA also applies to informal recruitment and there is a separate script for informal recruitment since this process usually works a little differently.
So in your case, if you attend the pref parties, list both on your MRABA, sign the MRABA and get matched to one of them but do not accept that bid you would not be eligible to accept a bid from any other NPC chapter for 1 calendar year.
If you attend the events, sign the MRABA, but do not get a bid, you are eligible for formal recruitment in the spring.
Sometimes we know recruitment rules get misinterpreted - when in doubt check with your Greek Life Office.
It sounds like your school may hand out the informal recruitment bids at one time. Schools that have a less structured informal recruitment where bids are given out at different times should also be using the MRABA.
Best of Luck to you!

I actually don't think my school uses this for informal...I've been to both pref parties, and no one has mentioned anything like this. Both of the sororities told us that they would just come to our rooms between 4 and 7 tomorrow if we got a bid from them. I suppose I'll just wait and see what happens, and if I end up without a bid I'll just ask the Greek Life Office if I'll be eligible in the spring.
It's so confusing, I wish we just had Rho Chis like they do in the spring who could explain everything! Oh well...thanks for the help anyway
