bid
by: PNMWhat if you accept a bid to a sorority and later decide that you can't handle it with school and work or can't actually afford the costs or don't like your sisters/house? Are you allowed to drop before you're even iniated?

Yes, you can drop anytime before initiation without having to even pay your dues. New member period is technically a trial period. Once you undergo initiation, though, you may never join or rush another. If you choose to drop before initiation, you can't rush again until Fall

yes every new member period is different because each sorority initiates at a different time

Once you sign an MRABA (the thing you will sign on prefs night) you are under obligation to accept a bid from one of the listed chapters if one is extended. Then, if you get a bid from a chapter, you are locked in to that chapter for a calendar year (so you can't open your bid card, see you got ABC, drop ABC and then grab a bid at DEF or GHI during spring recruitment). You would have to wait a full year to go through again, and chapters may remember that you went through before and resigned from a different chapter.
However, you are only permanently a part of the place where you get a bid once you are initiated. Once initiated, you can never pledge another Panhellenic sorority, even if you transfer campuses, etc.
I believe the time between bid day and initiation for most houses is about an eight week period.

How long is new member period? Does it depend on each sorority?
