I am clueless on colonies, but I would think in a colony recruitment, that if you go to pref you would get a bid unless you did something really weird to not get one? Anyone who has colony experience care to comment?

Some groups do that but not all. Some actually have had bid day as pref to surprise the PNMs. However, I would not assume anything at any time.

Not all women who attend colony prefs receive bids. (Regardless of whether or not they did something really weird)

True! And they were still scheduling interviews until 3 p.m. today, so I am sure they left themselves some wiggle room.

I was surprised by that, but that is my understanding for KD. Some women may receive regrets from the sorority after the "pref" party. The bid list isn't set until after that party.

Due to the nature of colony recruitment, the coordinators will be fine-tuning the group as a whole for cohesiveness.
