Chances of getting a bid after pref round?
by: GhSo I did a suicide bid and only put down one sorority… fingers crossed it’s my fav one and idc that it’s a low rank (it’s not alpha gamma) bc I vibed wjth the girls so well. Also I cried during pref round bc it rlly touched me does this affect my chances?

Lots of girls cry during pref it's nbd. Before pref they already pretty much knew how they were going to rank their bid list so if you are high enough on it for a match before they hit whatever quota is then you'll get your bid. If not, maybe they can pick you up as a COB because you came so close. Good luck.

Whoa, wait a minute. Was this the only house you got invited to for pref?
THAT'S NOT A SUICIDE! You have 100% got that bid! Easy stress free night for you, you know where you're going tomorrow! Yay! Sweet dreams!
FYI a suicide is when you have 2 houses and only rank 1. If you only have 1 house and you put them on your card you are guaranteed that bid.

Wait, what?! Sorry I couldn’t comment directly but because I got a house back I’m guranteed a bid from them? Really?? I thought it was hopeless because I only have one house left but I didn’t know that you basically get a bid if you only got invited to one house for pref. Can someone else verify this?
by: one house=bid
Yes, this is absolutely correct. If you only have one house for pref and you attend and put them on your card you get that bid.
There are no drops after pref, there is only bid matching. Everyone invited to a pref is on that house's bid list somewhere. Since you don't have a #2 option you are guaranteed to bid match to your one and only house.
Verified. Congrats.

Yeah honey, you didn't suicide bid so that doesn't apply to you - that's just for those who only list one of their two choices. If a pnm only has one house at pref and they want it then they get it. You are running home tomorrow to your house!

to RFM: if you only knew who "Knows" was, you would be humiliated. She is certainly no troll. Several Greek advisors are watching this thread now to laugh at your so-called knowledge of what happens.

Omg omg I’m freaking out right now!! I love this house so much I literally cried at the pref but I was so worried I wouldn’t get a bid at all bc I thought well with only one house… yk what are my chances? But I guess they saw something in me bc they kept inviting me back up to pref and then ofc today i put them down as my one and only option bc I only have one house. Also I’m kind of worried bc I hung out with my bf today and my roomate whose rushing knows but I’m paranoid someone will find out and everything will be ruined… idk. I’m trying not to think of the what ifs Anyways tysm for all the replies l!

Anyways tysm for the other comments you guys left...xoxo much love and I'm so excited for tmrow!!!

Past rho gam here, FSU does not guarantee bids, so even if it is your only house for pref, you aren't guarantee a bid from them. BUTTT FSU does try to maximize the amount of people that match to a house so although it is NOT guaranteed, there is a high likelihood you will get a bid. If you don't you will likely get a call sometime tonight or tomorrow morning from your rho gam. I just didn't want you to get your hopes up if you don't get a bid. It will just depend on where you are listed on the sororities bid list and if your name is listed before they hit quota.

If she maximized all her options each round, RFM says she'll be a quota addition. This is not an FSU thing - it's a National thing.

It is definitely not a national thing. NPC can't guarantee bids. Sometimes a chapter has found out something horrible about a PNM before bids are given out but after prefs and a girl was released.
NPC can't guarantee membership in any way. It comes down to the individual group She will probably get her bid but it's not 100% sure.

To FU: it definitely does happen and if you were in the know and went to any other Greek sites besides this one, you would know of several situations in which a girl has gone out and done something horrible on pref night, or proof comes in that she lied about something major on her rush application. In one Southern case last year, it was found out after prefs that a PNM had been kicked out of her last university for assaulting her roommate.
I agree that it probably won't happen to this PNM. However, FU, you are very wrong to say that it never happens and that NPC can force someone to take a PNM.

Hardly applies to this situation. This thread is about the bid matching process and not any of that 'what if' stuff that has no relevance here. You're just being a cun+ and you know it.

No one is saying that a sorority can be forced to take someone. The thread is about the PROCEsS, and how RFM works through bid matching, quota additions, etc. at every school, and that there is not some different FSU version of that process. Trolls always trip themselves up.

If you are a former Rho Gam, you learned nothing in your training. FSU follows the rules of the National Panhellenic Conference, which state if you are only invited to one pref party, put that sorority on your MRABA, you will receive a bid from that sorority.
