MRABA

The Membership Recruitment Acceptance Binding Agreement (MRABA) is a document that will be given to you after the third day of recruitment has ended. By signing this document, you are acknowledging that you are willing to receive a bid from one of the 1-2 sororities listed on your final assessment sheet. In order to receive a bid, you MUST sign the MRABA.

Up until signing the MRABA, you are free to withdraw from the recruitment process at any time, for any reason, with no consequences. If you would like to withdraw from recruitment or decline a bid AFTER signing the MRABA, you are still able to do so. However, because you have signed the MRABA, you will not be eligible to join a sorority until the next primary recruitment period.

If you are invited back to two houses on day three of recruitment, please list both of them on your assessment sheet. Listing one chapter when you visited two is called ‘single intentional bidding’, and is equivalent to saying that you are only willing to receive a bid from the option you listed. However, doing so will drop you to the bottom of the priority list, and you will be far less likely to receive a bid.
