snap bidding is not the same as QA. QA is when a chapter meets quota, but PNMs didn't match with any of the choices they had, so a chapter has the choice to give them a bid in addition to the PNMs they already have and go over quota, so the PNM doesn't get dropped completely. It's the "reward" PNMs get for maximizing their options. It is usually mandatory for chapters to give QAs in this situation, but it is a good thing because it means so many PNMs put this chapter first on pref. A snap bid is when a chapter doesn't meet quota and can extend bids to PNMs they dropped in previous rounds who have either been totally dropped from recruitment or have elected to drop out. It means the chapter didn't have enough people rank them first, which is why there's a stigma. Both of these happen before bid day events, so no one in the chapter (outside president and recruitment chair and advisors) should know if a girl is a snap bid/QA. Once bid day is over, total is reset and chapters under total have a chance to do "informal" or COB.
