Regarding the "Can I Join Another Group" threads

[ellebud]

So...a question: (I suspect that I know the answer but this is confusing). Girl A accepts a bid for a colony chapter of a national sorority. Two weeks later decides that it isn't "right" for her. Has a friend in a top house, a new member, not an active. New friend supposedly invites her to COB in a house that has met quota. Mom calls Panhellenic (adult advisor) who tells mom that daughter can COB (right now) or rush (in spring). Can someone accept a bid, depledge and the accept a bid within a month period with the exception being made because this is a colony?

One of my friends joined a colony in spring, quit, and rushed again the next fall. I think the exception is made because it isn't an officially chartered chapter (that is, there is still the chance it might cease to be before it really begins). I'd be more concerned about the bid that the full house seemingly pulled out of its bum.
