<strong>Subject:</strong><br />Seeking advice on open bidding for fraternities<br /><br /> Poster Message:
I ended up getting dropped by every fraternity on campus by Round 3. I didn't suicide any house, and purposely didn't research any of them before rushing, so that I could come in with an open mind. I found a few chapters that I see myself being very happy at. We had around 1,500 PNMs this year, so I believe that I got dropped simply because of the high volume of people. I also come from a town where nobody goes to Ole Miss, so I had nobody that could vouch for me. The fraternity that I have 3 generations of legacy was disbanded at Ole Miss, so I didn't have that in my favor either. I'm seeking advice on what to do moving forward. Would y'all recommend that I participate in Continuous Open Bidding and try to get a bid to a house in the next 2 weeks, rush again in the spring, or rush as a sophomore next year? Or would y'all recommend that I don't join a fraternity and try to meet people another way? Is it common for chapters to give out open bids? Any advice on my next move would be appreciated, as I find myself very confused on what I should do.
