snap bids and cob

Can someone please clarify the Snap Bidding process? I thought Snap Bids are only given out up until the Bid Day activities at 3? Can a group give a Snap Bid out to someone as long as she hasn't opened her Bid Card?
I also thought that you can only SB up to Quota. Does that mean Theta was 11 away from Quota?
You can't SB up to chapter max size/Total can you? Thanks!

How will the sororities contact people?? I really want to be in one but I don’t know what to do.

with a pledge class of 46 SK didn't do any of this and probably won't informal either next fall

Snap bidding is to meet the number ISC allows on bid day, AKA like 44 or 45 this year. COB is to meet quota set by nationals of the chapter. Snap bids are given out the day of bid day and are given to girls that dropped out of rush, generally girls who house toured there. Any bids that follow this semester are now COBs.

If you wrote a sorority down after prefs when you ranked them and were offered a bid and did not accept, you cannot do COBs or informal, must wait 1 full year. Likewise if you accept a bid and later decide to drop

Lots of sororities had to give out some snaps this year due to the new pref system. Girls preffed at only 2 places instead of 3, and thus there were also fewer girls at pref rounds. Thus if a bit more than half of the girls who preffed at your sorority put somewhere else first and got it, you had to do snap bids as you went through your entire bid list. With the larger pref rounds of years past, all of the sororities except bottom tier basically didn’t make it to the end of their bid list (aka all the girls at their prefs) and didn’t need snap bids.

Did you tell your Pi Chi to register on the COB list? That's what I did!

Wow, wish I had known some of this before rush.

For how much longer will cobs be given out?

Are there still chapters giving out COBS or is that process over?

On COBs post, says PBP giving out 3 snaps.
