RANKING AND SIGNING THE CARD: You will attend up to two houses for pref and then rank them and sign your card. This is the Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement, or MRABA. Signing this means you will accept a bid from any house you list on that card. This agreement is in effect for one calendar year, which means that if you get a bid and turn it down, or take a bid and then drop from that house, you are ineligible for any other bid for the next year, until the next formal recruitment. So make it work. When you rank both houses you are guaranteed a bid to one of them. The odds favor you getting your first choice but you still might end up with your second. If you end up at your second choice and you are disappointed, put a smile on your face anyway and go to bid day and give that house your best shot. It's your only option at this point and you will be surprised what a difference a few days make and how being welcomed into that sisterhood and meeting your new class will make you feel. Really. If you end up with only one pref house and attend and put it on your card, you are getting that bid. Guaranteed. You can rest easy, you know where you're going on bid day. Congrats. You do have a choice to only rank one of your two pref houses. Understand that you run the risk of not getting a bid at all if you don't match with that one house you listed. This is called "suiciding", or in the official terminology, Single Intentional Preference or SIP. More on how this works under Bid Matching. You should only SIP if you fully embrace the repercussions of not getting a bid at all with very little chance of being in a sorority, and would not consider your #2 under any circumstances. Formal recruitment is your best chance to get a sorority bid, so why not list both houses and give your #2 a chance. You can drop before initiation if it's not working out. Whatever you do, do not ditch a house on bid day, that is about the $hittiest thing anyone can do. That sorority wanted you and invested one of their limited bids in you and trusted that you were being honest when you signed your card. You can't get another bid because of the MRABA anyway, so either make up your mind to take the bid from #2 and make an honest effort, or don't list them on your card at all.
