How do frats give out bids

After two rounds of rushing, there is an invite-only third rush. Rush is a great time to see if you could picture yourself as a member of that group. After all three rushes have taken place, each group discusses which students would be a positive addition to the group.

Usually, this is a tedious process and takes many hours. When a student receives this bid, they are able to accept, deny or defer the bid to join that fraternity or sorority. Gusteau GreekChat Member. Join Date: Jan Posts: 1, Find all posts by Gusteau.

Can't decide if I should pledge- advise please?

Going to far? You decide. Yet, as it begins most boys will already know which frats are considered the most popular and which preconceived labels go with each. That is exactly what can make this a difficult process because just like in the real world, rumors are not fact. If you have any influence at all, encourage your sons to look beyond the Greek letters all houses have a combination of them and have an open mind. Hopefully, your son will be able to move beyond the labels and focus more on finding like-minded young men and a place where he will fit in.

This can come in rather handy later when looking to network and find a job in the world beyond college even in another city. Here is a little about how it works. Hopefully, your son will get a bid from the house he wants. A bid is basically an invitation to join their fraternity. They then have three options to either 1. Accept the bid and rush is essentially over for him or 2. Sit on the bid, the most common choice during rush week, as it allows him to continue to visit other frats and maybe even collect more bids.

In the end, he can only accept one of the bids or 3. Decline a bid and continue the hunt. And then the fun really begins; pledging. Once a bid has been accepted your student becomes a pledge. Try not to let the rumors of hazing worry you because chances are it will never happen. Rush is based on first impressions, judgments, and appearances. After they complete these activities, which may take months or an entire semester depending on the fraternity, they become official members of the fraternity.
