Sorry this wasn't incredibly informational to anyone else! Just sayin'!

Don't apologize! Believe me, we love hearing about recruitment (even informal!) from a PNM's perspective!
Did you visit all 11 yesterday?
Also, you shouldn't feel like "oh, I'm less wanted than the first five bids they give out, even if you are #6". Because bids are not going through PH, and the procedure is a little, um, chaotic, chapters probably sat around last night playing the same guessing game you did. So, in addition to how much they like* a PNM, they also have to consider how likely a PNM is to accept their bid. Just as you are worried about receiving bids in the wrong order, they are worried about giving them in the wrong order. They don't want to bid Suzie PNM who they love so much, if Suzie might sit on her bid for 48 hours and then decline.
I don't know if I'm making a whole ton of sense, but I'm trying to say that UF hasn't worked out the kinks of having a structured spring recruitment, and it sounds like maybe they also haven't communicated very well, so if you get a bid late or something, you shouldn't automatically think it means that you were "less-wanted".
Bids can be offered starting tonight?
*and by like, I mean how well she meets their membership criteria and all that
