How do I join a sorority that is colonizing this fall at FSU?

Like BR said, Pref is where you have to draw that line and say yes or no.

They can't force you. What they CAN do is call you over and over, telling you that if you don't put someone back on your list then you'll NEVER MAKE QUOTA AND NEVER MAKE TOTAL AND YOUR CHAPTER WILL BE GONE NEXT YEAR OMG.

I don't think the GAs should be able to comment on your list at all, unless asked.

The question was if an invite to colonization pref guaranteed a bid. And the answer is it should but there are exceptions...just like in a formal recruitment pref. It can happen - believe me, I've seen it .

We'll all agree that colonization is different. Is anyone even sure if "Pref" rules apply since this is not formal recruitment? It would be like trying to apply formal recruitment rules on Informal recruitment just because a chapter had a "Pref" party.

I'll try to check later if someone hasn't.

Thanks...I don't have a green book so I can't, but it would make sense that the organizations holding recruitment for a colony can do what ever they want since they aren't competing with other chapters. That is the whole reason for the bid list issue in formal recruitment...to make things fair between the chapters. It made bigger chapters get rid of PNMs they didn't really want in the old system because they'd have the chance of getting them if they were on their bid list.

Ok, flipped through and although it's not specific on colonization here's my best guess. If the colonizing chapter continues through formal recruitment and holds its pref parties along with all the other chapters, they're bound by the same rules. If they drop out of formal recruitment after the open rounds - something I've seen mentioned here - they're not. I'm basing this on the fact that pref lists only exist within formal recruitment.

I know it can happen even in formal recruitment because I was involved in it as an adviser. And yes, we had to explain to the GA but our decision was accepted and the woman was not on the bid list. End of story.

I thought it was very charming that the Alpha Phi colony at Alabama surprised all the pref attendees with bids. I guess they had the ceremony and then the big reveal. They put pictures up on their blog showing all the happy, dressed-up PNMs holding their bid cards.
