i dont think most of the sororities will have COBs, even if girls do drop, sororities might not want to make an effort to replace 2 girls if they're already at (or over) quota which most are.

prob. not
COBs, most of the time, are for girls who dropped out of rush or girls who transfered in the Spring. in my sorority, we believe the effort is worth it. if someone decided to drop, we will have every intention of replacing her- freshman, sophomores, ext. sometimes it works out for the best. you get that girl you never knew you wanted.

NO. You are bound to your bid for 1 year. You can't drop and join another house. You can go through recruitment again next year.

honestly, in my opinion you should want to scream ur sorority from the roof top u love it so much...its a lot of $$ to spend on something you dont love
if ur not crazy about it, there are a million girls who would kill for ur spot-give it to someone who really wants it and will truly make their college experience

if you signed that form from panhel, you cannot take a bid from another sorority for another calendar year.

Not everyone falls in love with their sorority right away. That's ridiculous. Some people need to take time to get to know people before falling in love with them.
OP, please just give it time.

Only sororities who are under the house average can COB so that's only gonna be phi mu (maybe) or ADPi. Stick it out and wait for the first few events/ PC events, if you still think it's not a good fit you can drop and try again next year or try to COB next year. You have to wait a full calendar year to try to join another house...

From what I know, you cannot be released from a house and get a bid.
Last I heard, phi mu is likely not going to take any COBs. I know someone who got an email about an ADPi bid.

No one knows who can offer COB until total is set, but I doubt Theta will. They are one of the largest houses and took quota plus.

You must be thinking of another house. Everyone showed up at Theta for Bid Day.
