Hi! Suicide bidding, what you might also hear called “intentional single preference” is where a PNM has two houses left on Bid Day and rather than choosing to rank the two sororities, she only ranks one of her remaining houses. At Texas Tech and per Panhellenic rules across the nation, if you maximize your options (aka rank both houses and don’t do a suicide bid), you are GUARANTEED to receive a bid on Bid Day, even if the house is not your #1 choice. Suicide bidding will be highly discouraged by your recruitment counselors because if you do it and don’t end up with a house, you will have to wait another year to go through recruitment again— you cannot COB (continuous open bidding, where a bid is given after Bid Day) or join through Spring Recruitment. If you were in a situation where you only had one house left, you could potentially end up without a bid on Bid Day, but I do believe you could end up doing a snap bid (an instant bid you receive from a chapter on Bid Day) or COB into a house. I’m not 100% sure though because ending up with one house on Preference is extremely rare. I hope this helped and that recruitment goes well for you :)
