You declined the bid, therefore you no longer have a right to that bid. It is now entirely up to the chapter whether they wish to honor it or not. Being at Total or not is irrelevant. It sounds like they changed their mind about you.

Here's an example to explain how your and apparently your misinformed Greek Life Office's reasoning that a bid is valid for an entire year is wrong. Let's say Quota is 20 and a chapter makes Quota issuing 20 bids, but 5 decline. The chapter is entitled to immediately turn around and issue 5 COR bids in order to fill Quota. But using your logic, the chapter could not do that. Instead it would have to settle on only 15 members hoping against hope those 5 would change their mind. The chapter would be stuck honoring those worthless yet outstanding bids for the whole year. It doesn't work like that.
