Anyway, I appreciate dramatic build up and would like to read what happened! Please post that!!!

If you want to know if people are interested look at the number of views.

per say is two separate words.

If you came here to post that, you could finish your story and gain a lot of new friends. Right now you're squarely in the "annoyed" corner. Get yourself out of it, and disprove the AW title.

And OP - you're either a member of the chapter we all know just colonized with 200 members at a school with 17 chapters, or you're not. I assume congrats are in order.

ETA: congrats! Feel free to finish up your story in your style - we'll still read it So you had friends invited to pref who didn't get bids? That seems a bit unusual in colonization processes.

Damn. Pot meet kettle - I'm wearing that shoe!

There are always reasons why a bid is not issued after pref. Colonizations are no different.

I don't even care if she got a bid, I'm having way more fun with all the PMs and side convos and messages.

It is "per se."

Thanks, three years of Latin class!

There was another thread where we talked about it, and I thought it was pretty much agreed that it was cruel and nobody does this. If some groups do, I stand corrected.

I wanted time to write out a full response but I guess I'll tell you I did get a bid! Some of my friends didn't though.

Congratulations! Would love you to write up the ending and tell us all about your bid day.

At the Michigan recolonization last week, pref was invitation-only and bids were given out that night as a surprise. Four years ago, when we colonized at the school where I teach, the Greek Life office "strongly requested" that all PNMs be allowed to attend pref, and that cuts not be made until after that "round." Because we were also limited in how many we were allowed to take, there were many women cut. It was definitely difficult...personal calls were made to all of the PNMs who would not receive a bid. I think making pref invitational would have been less cruel.
