You're missing a subtle distinction about snap bidding and COB, and thus probably quota and total. Quota = The pledge class size all sororities aim for and are expected to take to keep things equal. Total = the total membership size sororities aim for and are encouraged to maintain. Even if every sorority takes quota every year, some sororities will lose more girls to deactivation, or gain transfers in, etc. Snap bidding is meant to get a pledge class to quota. If you miss quota by a couple numbers, you can snap bid to quota. COB is meant to get a sorority to total. If you had a lot of girls deactivate, or maybe you took a sophomore heavy pledge class in the past so the prior year you had more seniors graduate than usual, you can COB up to total. If you are beyond total, you cannot COB. Technically both snap bids and COB are optional, but snap bids are treated very seriously and if a sorority missed quota, they're going to snap before bid day begins. COB is optional. A house can be below total and decide, "Ehhhh not for us this year". Recruitment and quota is to benefit the PNMs. COB is to benefit the sororities. Quota helps the PNMs so everybody gets a place, and thus recruitment is even for the PNMs. COB is an option to help sororities get bigger, so they can do what they want with it.
