Should I Suicide Bid?

How would you feel not getting a bid at all? That is the chance you are taking with suiciding. You will be left out of everything and watching all your fellow pnm's have so much fun in their new sororities. Can you handle that? Your #1 would not be turning around and giving you a COB this semester either. So consider 2 things: 1) If you take your #1 house completely out of consideration, is it possible that you were so blinded by them that you didn't give your #2 house a real chance? Could you try if that's where you land? 2) If you don't match to your #1, you are likely to get your #2; however, on the chance you don't match with #2 either, then you are more likely to be placed with your #1.

I'd say def pref both because if for some reason you get into the other house give it a chance and if you don't like it drop. You're gonna meet so many more girls and I get find friends. Just trust that it'll all work out!!

Definitely don’t suicide IF you want to be part of the Greek life for the upcoming year, too risky

I wish I would have SIP’d. Didn’t like my 2nd choice going into bid day (what a nightmare day- there was no joy opening that envelope and I just couldn’t fake it) and hated it after getting my big. Everyone in my “family” acted like they either hated our chapter or felt like they were too good to be there which to me was just weird. I eventually dropped- and no one even asked me why or tried to ask me stay- and I have a 3.8 GPA and paid dues without fail. Now I wish I would have just suicided and tried my luck with COB. My advice- go with your gut and take these ranks with a grain of salt.

Can we please language other than “suicide” to describe this decision? That word can be very triggering to many people. Thank you.
