Let me preface this with that I completely understand the COB process and what that means. That said, I can understand why people are upset with APhi and the way they went about things. First, Panhel has termed the recruitment process as "COB" for EVERYONE this spring---the term is used on all the promotional materials. In the past, they called it "informal recruitment" or "spring recruitment". I've heard that APhi took at least 6 girls last week before this process started. 6 girls is not just a "handful" of spots. Spring pledge class sizes over the last couple years have varied from 5-15. If APhi just wanted a 2-3 friends to become members through COB, that's one thing. But 5 or more? Personally, I think they should have gone through the COB recruitment that everyone else who needs/wants to fill spots has to go through. I mean, they could still take who they wanted, but it gives other sororities a shot at these girls and gives more girls a shot at APhi. I mean, from what I've heard, PiPhi only needs to fill 5-7 slots, too, and they are playing by the rules. It just doesn't seem fair to me, although I know that it's technically above board.
