Preference Invites/ Bids

[Titchou]

It's possible to still get a bid from them if you put them on your bid card AND they put you on their flex list AND go far enough into it to get you. So I'd say it's about 99.9% against getting one from them and 100% that you get one from the group whose pref you attend as long as your campus guarantees bids to those who maximaze their options.

Most campuses pretty much guarantee a bid if a PNM has a full pref schedule and maximizes her options. It doesn't work out the same way if you only have one sorority left in your schedule when there are two or three pref parties. This PNM could definitely still be cut from the one remaining house she has left - it happens all the time.

OP, you were cut by the other sorority. The only way you should be able to get a bid from any sorority other than the pref party you did/are attending is if you don't sign a pref card (basically drop out of recruitment) and some sorority that doesn't meet quota decides to offer you a snap bid. But that is a foolish thing to bet on, if you ask me. Just laying that out there in case someone brings up snap bidding as a good option.

Snap bidding is only eligible to women who maximize their recruitment options at pref. It has nothing to do with them dropping out and in fact they need to sign a pref card. If you drop out of recruitment you are eligible for COB, not snap bidding.

No, quota additions are for only women who maximized their options but didn't get a bid. Snap bids are for any woman who did not receive a bid, whether she dropped out of recruitment after the first round or whether she was cross-cut.

Yes I mixed the requirements up, however women do not have to drop out or be cross cut to receive one. Some women maximize their options at pref and do not receive a bid, even though this is rare, as not every campus "guarantees" bids.
