I just heard this story on yesterday and thought it would be worth repeating.
The cousin of someone I just met graduated from my alma mater, where there are only two NIC orgs. The cousin was a double legacy of one of the fraternities. He really wanted to be part of the organization and studied the chapter's website from beginning to end. He even memorized names and faces.
When the chapter had an open house or something like that, he went up to the members and said "Hi my name is _____. You must be John Smith, Class of 2009."
And so on....and so on.
He wasn't offered a bid. He also didn't pursue membership in any other fraternity.
The cousin of this guy was pretty sure that the members of the chapter were freaked out by this guy and put off by the fact that he researched them on a personal level, but did nothing to actually befriend them before hand.
Moral: Be yourself and don't stalk. I am sure this has led to bidless men in many more places.
