How do snap bids and fall COB work?

Snap bids are given out tomorrow morning before bid day. They’re given out if a sorority doesn’t meet quota and the sorority already has a list made of girls who dropped who they’ll give snaps to which are girls who usually came back for pref. COBs are typically given out beginning of spring semester and unless you’re looking for pi phi, phi mu, kkg it’s way easier to get a bid if you have a connection. You’ll go on like 2-3 coffee dates with an active member and then extended a bid if they like you so it’s way more chill than formal rush.

One of my suitemates got a snap bid to kappa and a girl in my rush group got a snap bid to kd. I also heard from a semi reliable source that phi mu gave at least 1 snap bid too

I found out I only had one house left for pref and it was a house I had no interest in. I tried to drop them repeatedly because while they were all very nice, I felt no connection to them. I didn’t want to waste their time because I knew I would not accept a bid from them and pay thousands in dues to join.

Historically there are not enough spots for everyone who dropped and is looking for a snap bid. COB is way more chill but you need to get invited to some events or let the sorority know you're interested if they post on their story in the Spring. You usually attend COB events for primarily one sorority. Some don't like it if you shop them. Doesn't show commitment.

So basically COB (for DDD, XO, KD, ADPI, ZTA) is only for girls who already have connections to people in the sorority. You will need to have established a solid friend or two who’ll be willing to rlly vouch for u- they’ll bring you on a coffee date or two, and then sometimes you’ll also be invited to an invite-only COB event. This usually happens in the spring!

COB can happen earlier based on chapter total. A house can make quota but be under the Chapter total (max) set by Panhellenic. This will take a few weeks to shake out. Some PNMs may drop too. Some nationals are fine with this, some will require that max number. It is a business and need full paying members. Depending on nationals they may also be considering transfers from other universities who are already sisters. This is not necessarily automatic. There are more spots in Spring due to graduations, drops, and how the nationals considers study abroad and extenuating circumstances etc.

Can you receive multiple snap bid offers or is only one allowed and how is it decided which one if that is the case?
