Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant that XYZ might assume that she chose ABC because they're cheaper.

Agree with both Titchou and IndianaSigKap -- politely advising that you have commitments that you need to honor and that it is only right that you discuss the bid with your parents to ensure their personal (if not financial) support of your decision. Titchou stated a response that is honest, kind and polite.

Ditto.

I don't know that I wouldn't give a reason at all. That might be interpreted as, "I don't want it," by the chapter.

Question:

(I don't want to derail this thread, so answer only if you definitely know...)

I went through COB and was also given 24 hours to sign my bid. Is that a chapter, sorority, campus panhellenic, or NPC rule?

Today I got an email from the recruitment chair of Parks & Recreation, she said she wanted to come by today to "drop something off". About an hour and a half later, she showed up with the girl I had really clicked with at their bingo night and they offered me a bid as well as a really cute sunflower! I definitely accepted, I really clicked with these girls and love their sorority, so happy I finally found my sorority home!

And now, I finally get to tell you guys who Parks & Recreation is!
Drum roll please.........
