Snap bids are a great way to solve a couple of problems. Pan manages how many girls each house has to release. It's based on historic averages but that kind of stuff can change with numbers of legacies and numbers of girls from hometowns where a particular house recruits well. Sometimes that ends up with some house not inviting back enough girls to pref. Let's say Sorority XYZ usually has about 50% accepting their party invitations. So at pref they can invite back twice the amount girls that Pan estimates for quota. This year XYZ seems to be competing against the two most popular houses (POP and AAA)and many of the girls XYZ wanted preffed POP or AAA first and XYZ second, leaving XYZ with some extra spaces in their class. This is where snap bids come in. XYZ will receive a list of all the girls who were dropped completely or dropped out prior to pref. They look through the list and decide on say five girls that they'd love to have fill the spots in their new class. The girls are called and offered a snap bid. If the girls accept, they'll get their bids the next morning on bid day and no one will ever know. Two problems solved: girl that otherwise wouldn't get a bid gets a bid, house that otherwise wouldn't make quota makes quota.
