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

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.

That makes sense, Drolefille. Thanks.
