new sorority
by: transferOK so i'm already affiliated but if I go to UF, can I rush again or do i HAVE to stick with my letters? I just want to rush to see if i'll be placed in the same home or a new home.. :P i heard that when you're initiated, you can't rush at all.

An initiated member to a NPH sorority is initiated for life, even if she drops out or moves, and she can never join another one. THat being said, I know a girl who somehow managed to become initiated at ZTA, switch schools, and then got initiated there at KD....but I'm assuming for most people they have a database and she somehow snuck through,

Yes, a bid means you can't go through recruitment for a calendar year. Being initiated means you never can again

So I could rush in Spring but I could rush the next fall if I only got a bid, right?

If you got a bid in the Fall and dropped BEFORE initiation, you can rush this upcoming fall. If you got a bid in the Spring and dropped BEFORE initiation, you can also rush this upcoming fall. Basically, if you get a bid and drop, you can not rush until the next formal recruitment season (which is in the beginning of the fall semester).
So if you get a bid this fall and drop, you can not rush in the spring, you must wait until next fall.
I know, it's confusing. It will all make sense one day I promise.
Also getting a bid does not make you a sister, you are a new member (pledge or whatever the chapter calls their new members). The pledging process usually lasts around 8 weeks, and basically you learn all of the details and history of the chapter and get to know your pledge class and the active sisters. Initiation is where you become a sister, and learn all the secrets of your chapters ritual. Once you are initiated, you can not rush again or get a bid from any other NPC sorority.

You are already affiliated? You mean you are a sister of a certain house, but not from the UF chapter? If you are a sister of a sorority you would know that once a sister always a sister. You don't become a sister of a national sorority and then go through rush to get a bid at another sorority. Are you for real or just making up a scenario? SMH

Is getting a bid different from being initiated?
