snaps

My sorority hasnt had to snap bid but this is how I understand it...
If a sorority does not meet quota or has a low membership after the regular matching process, the sorority can offer bids to the PNMs that did not match during the regular matching process. The PNMs who are eligible are the ones that attended all pref parties and listed all pref houses on their card but did not match, and PNMs that were released before prefs. I am not sure if the PNMs that chose to drop out of rush are eligible for snap bids or not since they quit the process early. The sororities got the lists last night so the houses that didnt make their numbers are making snap bid calls today before the formal Bid Day event.

You said: PNMs who are eligible are the ones that attended all pref parties and listed all pref houses on their card but did not match

Not correct. Those are quota additions. That happens within the regular matching process and you never know you were really a QA because you get your bid with everyone else.

Snap bids are only for people who drop out or are dropped before preference who who drop out after the pref parties and don't hand in a bid card. Snap bids know they are snaps because they get contacted and asked if they want a bid.

Snap bidding is not that common and is usually very small numbers and often for weaker houses who girls didn't want in the first place.

^^^^^ This is right, and those who voluntarily dropped out are not eligible to receive snap bids. Also, because snaps are given before the actual Bid Day activities, others in the new pledge class don't know that someone was a snap.

Sorry, # 2 posted before I got mine in. Are you sure girls who drop out are eligible? I always thought snaps could only go to those who maximized their options.
