why on earth would an informal new member be looked down on? they would not have offered "you" a bid if they had not wanted you as a sister. they will most likely be delighted to have "you" as a new member.

To play devil's advocate, I kinda understand his question: since formal (when typically done in fall) is a huge deal on greek campuses (and even for a noncompetitive campus, fall is given more attention than spring), i would think that, in the eyes/mind of freshmen (or of the immature/naive/superficial) getting a snap bid or a bid through COB/COR during informal would been seen as like... lesser than?
i'm not phrasing it very positively, but I havent seen many threads on members getting super psyched and prepped for informal/COB, so while *I* know that a member is a member, regardless of when theyre given a bid, someone else (perhaps a die-hard older greek family member or friend) may think "oh, you got a bid after formal rush..." and weight it differently.
PS i am sooooooo sorry for resurrecting this gawdawful thread with this post.
