2 bids in the same year
by: NoseyI used to follow this girl on insta who went through recruitment this year and accepted a bid from a sorority but ended up dropping it but now I see that she has a different sorority in her bio? I thought you had to wait a whole year to do COB or join a new sorority? Just wondering if that changed

Yeah, it hasn't changed.
Not sure if you're thinking of the same person but there was that KD from Vermont who is SOMEHOW suddenly in APhi even though she was DEFINITELY a new member in KD for long enough to have counted as "accepting a bid." I have no idea why it happened or how APhi got away with it but I guess they did - maybe she got a special circumstance exemption.

The thing is that ALL you have to do is accept the bid. If you run to their house on bid day and stay for at least a weekend, you DID accept a bid and you are NOT allowed to accept another according to NPC rules. Sooooo, yeah, KD must have come to an agreement with her.

But is the agreement binding a PNM to one house if she goes through pref an NPC rule or an individual university's Panhellenic rule? University panhellenics are allowed certain powers regarding recruitment that vary from campus to campus, for example setting minimum GPA to rush, days of recruitment, budget limitations, whether junior colleges associated with the main university are allowed to rush, etc. As far as I know, a MRABA does not hold the same weight as an individual sorority that has initiated a new member.
The old sorority wouldn't be involved much because new members drop before initiation all the time.

I'm not in either of those chapters, but I understand why people care. For one, I was a rho chi and know how disappointed some PNMs are when they don't get invited back to some houses or get their second choice on bid day, but we always tell them to make the best of their situation and embrace their house, and explain how there's no way around the rules. This incident shows that somehow there is a way around the rules that NPC agreed upon, which could definitely confuse or even upset some PNMs who will wonder how to get the same treatment. Moreover, if this girl really did cause all this drama for KD, I understand why people are expressing frustration that she just quietly slipped into another chapter, because they were under a good deal of scrutiny for a while.

If you are that desperate to know why not approach the girl and ask her? I mean, you follow her on Instagram, you know her name. If not her, then another member of her sorority. If you aren't willing to do that, you don't need to know that badly.
No one on here can help you with this. Go to the source.

Rumours have me understanding this: Girl accepts bid; pictures are posted at subsequent house event; mom goes to social media to seek help contacting daughter who she fears is in an uncomfortable situation for her - in an environment of excessive drinking.
All he!! breaks loose. People who see mother's plea vilify the house. Posts of mother and daughter quickly disappear. Months later daougjters social media now has her at a different house.
I don't think anybody would contrive this situation to get out of a unwanted bid. I can only imagine what she went through. And no one would wish this on anyone if it were an honest mistake and concern.
I hope the girl (and her mom) find peace in her new house. And do hope it was i with the best of intentions toward her daughters safety that this unraveled in a unfavorable way. Appreciate the houses worked it out and glad the girl found a new accepting home.
But if the choice of house is as described here, wow! From the pan to the fire.
If it is more sinister plot than earnest concern on their part -
Karmas a bi!!!!. \n\n\n\n\n

I too am very curious as to how that happened. I wasn't keeping up with her KD drama to know for sure that she was actually a new member, but enough people on this site clearly recall her being one and now apparently she's in APhi, so I guess the two chapters came to an agreement, because KD must have just wanted to get rid of her. She seems like a better fit at APhi anyway, so I'm glad it all worked out.
