You get a call super early in the morning like 6 am or something. If you don't get a call then you're fersure in that house!

If you just went to one Pref party, and put that one house down on your card, then you maximized your options! You should be fine!

If you only had one preference party invite and you attended and turned in your bid card with it listed, then you can relax. You will definitely receive a bid. This is how RFM works. Now get some sleep and get ready for bid day!

That is awesome! Congrats-the stress of only having one house sounds like it'll pay off in the long run-i hope that info is correct-sounds like it is! congrats!!

It is! This is what's called maximizing your options. It's not any different than someone who has two parties and lists both or three parties and lists all three. They all will receive a bid; only the ones with multiple possibilities won't know which one until bid day. When you only have one possibility, it's obvious. :)

You cannot be cut tonight and this is why:
1. All PNM's invited back to pref go on that house's bid list. So you're on the list somewhere.
2. All PNM's who maximize their options (that is list every house they attended pref even if it was just 1) are bid-matched to one of those houses. Since you only preffes one house, you will bid match to them. If they were already at quota before you matched, you will be added as a Quota Addition. (You won't know if you were a QA).

So congrats!! You can get a good night's sleep tonight because you have nothing to worry about!

Sorry, you are correct. If you suicide and don't get a bid, you're not eligible fir a snap bid but can COB after formal rush is over.

@what if - yes, you very well could have just screwed yourself. Prepare yourself for the dreaded phone call tomorrow morning. I don't know what % of girls get their #1 house but I know a lot get their 2nd and 3rd.

By not maximizing your options, you could have just forfeitted your right to be added to your #1 choice house as a Quota Addition (which you would have gotten if all 3 houses were at quota before your name was on the list). You are also ineligible for COB for the next year.

I'm sad that you decided you would rather not be Greek at all than join the other houses who loved you and wanted you to be a sister. I hope it works out for you-

A PNM who suicides but doesn't receive a bid, I'm almost certain, can still COB. Girls who are extended bids tomorrow, but later drop for whatever reason, are not eligible to COB/rush until next year.

but usually the only houses that COB are the ones that PNMs feel like they "didn't see themselves in."

I had one house left on preference round and it was the best thing that happened to me. By round 3 I knew this was the house for me and this just made me realize that they knew too! So congrats and get ready to have the best day of your greek career!!
