continuous open bid
by: BidI've heard that some sororities do continuous open bidding? Which do and how does that work if you missed on spring rush?
Comment#4 by: idk
also, as to how it works: say sorority XYZ has 2 open spots because 2 girls in spring '16 dropped. that sorority will officially enter a period of "continuous open bidding" until 2 new girls accept those 2 open spots. the sorority will reach out to girls that they think are good fits, who may have dropped recruitment entirely or not rushed at all because of other circumstances. they WILL NOT extend bids to a woman who received a bid but dropped because she did not like the sorority she got on bid day. this is because that woman who dropped after receiving a bid signed a document after preference round saying that she understands that upon preffing the sororities she did, she is agreeing to not rush for a year after no matter what happens. hope this cleared things up a little.

They will reach out to you. If no sorority contacts you, I'm sorry, but you didn't make the cut this year. Try to join some other clubs, raise your GPA, and make friends with people in Greek life for next year.

I don't know if the above comment is necessarily true. I think the sorority reaches out to girls who they think will be interested in joining, so it can't hurt to reach out to Panhel and let them know you'd like to participate in the COB process.

There is also the chance that once total is recalculated this semester, groups may be under the newly calculated total (calculated at the beginning of each semester based on chapter median), leaving a few open spots outside of quota to fill. This is less likely than filling spots in quota, but it is still a possibility.
