Yep .. Deductive reasoning says that the chapter had to have made quota or she would have received a bid from them. Since she didn't, that means that she was on their bid list below where they stopped when reaching quota.

I guess I'm still not used to this "somewhere on the list if you're at pref" stuff and thought that she could have not been on their bid list at all.

That isn't an RFM concept though. As far as I know, that has always been the case.

Irishpipes, you are correct. At least since 1994 (when I pledged) being invited to pref meant you'd be on the bid list.

I didn't think it had anything to do with RFM. Like I've said before, if you only had one invitational event, I think requiring a group to put every single woman on the bid list is sillypants and probably rarely followed. But that's not the kind of rush situation we're talking about here so it's a moot point.

I advise at a school with only 3 chapters. There is only one invitational event before pref. Frequently we have PNMs who must miss a round of parties for athletic or academic commitments. After only meeting them once, we have to decide if we want to meet them for the 2nd time at preference meaning we'd be required to put them on a bid list. It is almost impossible to get exceptions granted to not list every woman at preference.

As my French teacher would say, that is the BOOOOL SHEEET.

And I'm guessing that the chapters are small enough so that one or two missteps as far as membership selection is enough to bring down the chapter. Someone isn't thinking things through.
