Any Panhellenic sorority that has an overall chapter membership below Chapter Total, is allowed to, but not required by Panhellenic to pledge additional new members up to chapter total. Participation in COB is ultimately up to the discretion of the chapter, so there is no set of chapters and/or a guarantee that specific chapters will participate.
Total Chapter Size: Total is the allowable chapter size as determined by the College Panhellenic. To allow groups to achieve parity as quickly as possible at the conclusion of primary recruitment, the University Panhellenic Council shall automatically reset total within 72 hours after the completion of the primary recruitment period.
a. Total will be determined by the median chapter size (MCS)
b. Each sorority is entitled to a primary and secondary new member quota plus juniors and seniors at any time during the school year, even if by doing so, the Panhellenic total is exceeded.
c. Once a chapter fills its primary and secondary new member quota plus juniors and seniors, if the total chapter membership is below Panhellenic total, the chapter may continue pledging during Continuous Open Bidding until Panhellenic total is reached.

You can also see size reports back to 2018 on the Dean of Students website. You’ll see that spring classes fluctuate based on median chapter size. Sometimes 11 chapters participate then 7 then 4 then maybe none. Lots of chapters go with what they got in the fall and decide to not bother in the spring.

Some chapters will only choose to participate in COB if there are specific girls they know and like who fell through the cracks during formal recruitment. It just varies a ton year to year. Unfortunately many chapters choose not to participate in COB even though they are eligible, due to stigma around it. Participating in COB does not mean a chapter is bad or undesired!

Everyone CoBs but everyone doesn’t call it CoB.
They just say bring your friends over and maybe there’s a spot for them. Did your suite mates not go through or drop out? Do you want to be in the same sorority?
And by definition half the chapters will be under MEDIAN CHAPTER SIZE
Panhellenic has an OBLIGATION to reset TOTAL this week.
e. Vacancy:
1. If a woman has participated in the chapter’s ribbon or formal pledge ceremony and the pledgeship is broken by either the new member or the chapter, then the vacancy created can be refilled only if a chapter is below Total.
2. When a woman negates her signed Membership Recruitment Acceptance and refuses to accept her matched bid at the conclusion of formal membership recruitment and does not participate in a ribbon or formal pledge ceremony, this space in the chapter’s pledge Quota was not filled. Then the chapter may immediately bid and pledge another woman even if the chapter is over Total.
3. Vacancies in the chapter membership roster that result when a member withdraws or suspends her fraternity affiliation, or is officially granted inactive status, transfers, graduates or drops out of college can only be filled if the chapter is below Total.
f. Continuous Open Bidding:
1. Groups which do not fill their new member quota during Fall Recruitment may recruit and pledge women at their own discretion after Bid Lists are received on Bid Day.
2. Recruitment and pledging in COB may continue until the beginning of the “Dead Day” preceding final examinations in the fall semester. COB begins again on the first class day of the spring semester for any chapter that had a vacancy in its new member quota prior to the closing of the fall semester.
3. The spring period of COB continues until the first “Dead Day” in the spring semester.
