ladies, please enlighten me. what are snap bids?
by: ScottEastwoodI see this mentioned a lot going through old Greekrank posts. Does sorority Thanos snap his fingers and rushes drop dead at an instant? I'm confused..

haha snap bids occur immediately after bid day, when sororities realize they haven’t met their “quota” for the year. ex. XYZ has a quota of 80 members per pledge class and only 76 girls accept bids, so they might offer 4 “snap bids” to girls who have dropped out of recruitment but they were still interested in. so basically XYZ will call you on bid day (I think you might be able to get one the day after too? not sure) and be like “hey we want you do you still want us”. when someone drops out of recruitment, they go through paperwork asking if they are interested in this or COBs (continuous open bidding). COBs are handed out all year long and are often presented when someone in XYZ drops later in the year, so there is a spot open (I had a friend join a sorority in September).

@Yikes missed a key point: Snap Bids happen BEFORE bids go out on Bid Day ONLY, NOT after Bid Day. Snap Bids are decided after the bid matching process which is after the pref parties are concluded. If you are going to be offered a Snap Bid you will get a call sometime BEFORE Bid Day activities start, either on pref night or the next morning. If you accept, then you go to Bid Day activities and run home with everyone else! But remember this: there are VERY FEW SNAP BIDS GIVEN and you should not count on one, especially from a house that already dropped you. If you drop out of recruitment because you didn't like the sororities you had left, the rare Snap Bid would come from one of those, not as a second chance from a house that cut you.

That was a very, very thorough explanation. Thank you, I really appreciate it! I don't think fraternities (at least mines) here do this, as it seems of more like a sorority rush thing.
Do snap bids happen with all tiers of sororities (top middle and bottom)?
