be 100% sure of your choice

by: Objective KSU fan

As you go through recruitment, keep an open mind, don't be swayed by friends, and above all.....be 100% sure about the house you pick. There are NO do overs. If you realize later you made the wrong choice, you will not get a second chance to join a different house in your future. This can be the best decision you make or can end up being a huge mistake.

This is not true at all. If you drop before your sororities initiation, you can go through COB. COB stands for "continuous open bidding" which begins usually in November. COB is when sororities who didn't completely fill their house can continue to give bids to girls who either didn't go through recruitment, or dropped before the initiation date! All you have to do is sign up through the kstate Greek office! However, if you do go through initiation you have to wait one year to rejoin a new sorority. But the most important thing to remember is to at least try the sorority you get a bid from. Don't be the girl who drops and doesn't even show to bid night. That's very hurtful to the girls of the house and they deserve a chance to prove their a good house. All in all, have fun! Recruitment and your freshman year are amazing experiences you only get to live once so enjoy it!!!

I wasn't referencing girls who accept a bid and then not show up for bid night, or even girls who accept a bid and drop before initiation. I also know what COB means. By the way, joining a sorority and deciding a year later that you made the wrong choice is realistic. I do agree, recruitment and freshman year are fun times, and most girls truly enjoy the experience. But, if you realize later, a year or two, that you made the wrong decision, you have the conversations with your big and others, and still decide to drop, you can turn into a pariah at that sorority. No one should take your personal decision as a failure on their part. You are still the same person, you have just decided that this particular sorority is not for you. I do find it interesting that you have flipped this into an attack on "that girl" who changes their mind, making them the villain.

I was giving more advice on what you said. You said make sure you're 100% sure of your choice and I'm saying that there's another way out if you're choice ends up being the wrong one. I'm trying to help girls know that it's not the end of their Greek experience if they get a few months into their sorority and realize that their decision was wrong. And I'm not attacking girls who change their mind, I literally gave advice for girls who change their minds by letting them know their options. What I was saying is that girls who don't show up on bid night are disrespectful because they should at least give the sorority a chance before they drop. I never said people who drop are bad or "villains." Maybe you should read my whole comment before attacking me. I think your the real villain here. Your comment is misleading in that girls might think that their Greek experience is over if they aren't 100% sure on their sorority, because it's not.

If you go through initiation you cannot join another house. If you accept a bid on bid night and drop before initiation you have to wait a year, if you want to go through COB the same year you have to drop out of recruitment before you receive a bid anywhere.

No no, this is wrong information. If you accept a bid from a house and later change your mind, you will have to wait 1 YEAR before you are able to go through recruitment, whether it be formal or COB again.

Once you are initiated into a house, you can NEVER join another Panhellenic sorority again. The only option is to transfer to the same sorority at a different school
