Spring recruitment is a formal recruitment (less formal than Fall though) where you sign up and then get invited back to different houses. Basically, it's like Diet Formal Recruitment. Generally, sororities who had girls drop or who did not meet quota in the first place partake in it. They will generally take a small # of girls, just what they need to make quota. This year, Chi Omega is also partaking, because they missed out on Fall, so they have an entire pledge class to fill, and will be obviously taking more girls. The girls sign up for spring, attend spring events, and hope to get a bid.
COB, Continuous Open Bidding, is not the same as Spring. In COB, a sorority will contact a girl themselves, and ask her if she'd like to join. The girl doesn't sign up for anything. COB also doesn't mean a sorority didn't make quota (ZTA, in this case, did meet quota in Fall), it just means there were more girls the sorority was interested in that didn't go through formal fall recruitment. Generally, COB girls are already friends with girls in the sorority, and the sorority just wants to make them a sister, so they ask if they'd like to join.
The main difference, I guess, is that for Spring, you don't know any of the sororities, they don't know you, you sign up and do a mini-recuitment. COB is when a sorority contacts a girl it knows well and wants, and asks if they'd like to join, there's no formal process, and the sorority members all already know the girl.

If you are new to the school and don't know any girls in ZTA, is there any way to be considered for COB?

The best way is to meet them, but you'll have to be really great for them to consider extending a bid if they don't know you. (good gpa, involved on campus, good image and rep, money)
