4. Snap bids ONLY occur if a chapter fails to make primary Quota. In that situation, they'll get a call in the middle of the night to learn how short they are from Quota and they can choose to snap bid pnms who withdrew earlier in the week. PNM's who suicide are not eligible. Snap bids must be accepted before Bid Day begins. This is a very "hush hush" situation where only a handful of chapter execs and the pnm receiving a snap bid will know the chapter didn't make quota during bid matching. If the chapter is able to snap up to Quota, they will show as having made Quota. COB is how chapters who are below Chapter Total (a number set by Panhellenic that is approx the average number of members) can extend bids to pnms to get their numbers up to Total. It has nothing to do with who made Quota during formal. Most chapters will not need to COB. Depending on how many members short of Total a chapter is, the COB process might vary- i.e., a chapter that is 2 under may directly extend bids to 2 very close friends of actives while a chapter that is 10 under will probably choose to have a few informal, invitation-only events where they allow pnms to get to know the chapter. PNM's can COB if they withdrew or were released from formal rush, if they suicided on Pref night, or if they have not rushed before PNM's are not eligible if they declined a bid this year or if they drop from the house they pledged. PNMs can sign up through Panhellenic BUT events are invitation only.
