To help: keep in mind your friends in the sororities you got dropped from still like you. This is a hard year, and you may have been on the list just not high enough to get an invite back. And legacy houses do not really matter given new policies for most and in the past only chapter legacies really had any pull. OB starts after formal recruitment is over, but it is not a secondary rush or a backdoor to getting a bid, especially in SEC. There are not many COB's handed out at all. Most chapters are too large to qualify for COB, and the ones that do qualify will be looking at the girls they liked who dropped out of formal recruitment. These are pnm's they already met and had in mind for a possible bid, so they have a distinct advantage over someone coming in cold that the chapter has never met. Also to keep in mind is that a house that releases a pnm in the early rounds of recruitment is not going to turn around and offer her COB, and there are some sororities here that still adhere to 'once cut always cut' with no second chance. Your best chance for a bid is not to count on a COB, but to go through formal recruitment as a freshman and see what happens, keeping in mind the above information. Follow what is right for you as your ahead if you have a group of friends from high school and can always try spring rush. But spring rush is harder to bond into a house as it will be similar to being a transfer with pledge classes already having their friends. You will have to make the extra effort. Given only a small group of bids are given out in the spring at houses you can look at the past to consider those groups would likely be the candidates for spring 2025 recruitment.
