Wait a tick. Does your school have two formal recruitments per year? Was this formal or informal recruitment?

we have a formal one in the spring, and an informal one in the fall.

perhaps, but i highly doubt it since she was the one who told me out of the blue.


I mean honestly I'm gonna do what I wanna do, which is to rush again in the spring. I just wanted answers to my questions.

So add a few (hundred) more "verys" on your list.

Ah! *lightbulb goes off at last* A PNM, in the early rounds, releases chapter PPP on her responses, BUT chapter PPP does not "release" her and would have invited her to another party(ies). Therefore, it's possible that Chapter PPP MIGHT extend PNM a "snap" bid if that scenario ever came to pass after Preference Night (I get how this works! YAY!). It does NOT work the other way, however (right?). This thread has been so educational for me in terms of so many details I never considered. Someone should write "recruitment rules for dummies" and I'll buy the first copy.

*another lightbulb* More valuable information about the process. And the short and sweet answer to the OP's original question.

*Finally! Permission for a signature line?

*And to the OP: Good Luck.

It obviously is that important to you since you were desperate enough to put the name of a sorority that didn't even think enough of you to invite you to their preference party. But good luck with that formal recruitment.

Please do yourself a favor and listen to this:

Your attitude will not help you. Your roommate might like you. She might like you enough to wish to extend you a bid. That's not the way it works. The entire chapter has to like you that much, and you have no idea (nor does she) whether or not they do. And even if they like you it doesn't mean you'll get a bid. Assuming that you will might very well keep you from being Greek at all.

And by the way, generally speaking, a sorority chapter is not going to appreciate the assumption that a PNM will get in. Learn a little tact and humility.

Adding to this: They could love you so much that they want to take you to the Panhellenic Chapel and marry you, but if you have a factor from preventing that (such as grades, academic/judicial probation, criminal record, etc), there's nothing they can do about it. I'm not saying that this is the case, I'm saying it's a possibility. We don't know you or your situation.
