COB explained

Poster Message:
It is in the pnm's best interest to reach out directly to the sorority she's interested in (1st priority) and TELL THEM PERSONALLY THAT SHE WANTS TO JOIN, via the recruitment chair, and to also tell panhellenic that she's open to COB so she can be on their list for all the sororities who would be doing it. The Gamma Chi's are out of it at this point. She needs to be proactive about making her wishes known, and the fact that she got as far as pref with A is good because it means she was on their bid list somewhere. Continuous Open Bidding is for houses that either don't make Quota, or are under the Chapter Total Membership. If her fave house is under Total, they could offer her a bid. Something to keep in mind: COB is completely elective on the part of a sorority, and if they have a really huge membership they may not want to offer any more bids even if they are under the current Total. Chapter Total is reset every semester, and will be reset in the next few weeks by panhellenic, and there may be a push to set it lower because of the large sorority memberships, so that would mean even fewer openings. But she should go for it no matter what.
