COB chapters announced
by: get a bid
Panhellenic has announced the chapters eligible for COB. Just bc they are eligible, doesn't mean they will participate. But if anyone wants to go greek, you can! From Panhellenic:
The following chapters were eligible for Continuous Open Bidding (COB)
following the conclusion of Panhellenic Primary Recruitment 2023:
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Delta Pi
Delta Gamma
Kappa Alpha Theta
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Kappa

Pi Phi and AOII are strong chapters at Bama and nationally. They both did a great job during recruitment and made the full quota, and then some. I think this is misleading for both sororities. They might not participate in COB. They don't need to do. It is an option, and the sororities listed their numbers. The chapter total from upperclassmen not returning was only 4 away for AOII and 5 for Pi Phi (I think). They are both doing very well on campus and nationally. Sororities pick up girls all the time. COB is not always about recruitment. You can make the full quota and then need to pick up a few girls to start the fall with full chapter numbers, especially with surprises from a handful of upperclassmen girls not returning and having to change quota numbers at the last minute. If so, they would have increased their quota numbers by a few and avoided the situation. They both easily made quota. This was about a small shortfall in chapter numbers due to upperclassmen graduating or not returning. They are just too strong to be a part of COB. Those are just my thoughts. Also, they will retain so many more girls than some others.

In what way is APhi strong? Or as strong as PiPhi, ADPi, or AOPi? Let’s visit last year’s reality:
Retention: Actives returning for fall 2022 recruitment
PiPhi 311
ADPi 305
AOPi 308
APhi 238 <what happened???
Recrutiment: New members fall 2022
PiPhi 135 NM GPA 3.54 N/E for COB
ADPi 135 NM GPA 3.30 Eligible for COB
AOPi 132 NM GPA 3.33 Eligible for COB
APhi 204 NM GPA 2.92 Eligible for COB (still!)
Spring 2023 COB:
PiPhi N/E for COB
ADPi COB 6 with NM GPA 3.55
AOPi COB 5 with GPA 3.45
APhi COB 30 with NM GPA of 2.64 <<really?
Spring 2023 end: total membership/new members, year total:
PiPhi 416 / 135
ADPi 392 / 141
AOPi 426 / 137
APhi 414 / 234
APhi replaced over half their house and with nm who were largely grade risks. I don’t see strength in these numbers, I see turnover, and nothing even amazing about the stats of the replacements. This is the first time ever APhi has not been on the COB list. Will this year be different?

Very interesting.
It appears Aphi remade themselves in the last year according to the numbers to the point where they are not on the cob list.
You made your post to bash them but I think you proved how resilient they are.
Anyway - this thread is about the cob list for this year and they aren't on it.

Are you illiterate? PiPhi did participate in COB this year! I can only confirm one, but I know positively they took one new member through COB.
For the record, APhi took a minimum of one COB this year too.

Maybe I should call you "read carefully" Piphi earlier in this thread is denying that they took any cob so far this year.
Read much?

Aphi needing to give 30 cobs last spring who had a gpa of 2.64 shows they are resilient? After having a fall new member class of 204 with below a 3? what did they remake themselves into? That's their usual.

How do you turn every thread into an Aphi bash?
This thread is not about them. They are not on the cob list like Piphi was until they requested to be taken off.
You need help. There are people you can talk to.

Both PiPhi and Aphi can come on here and deny taking cobs all they want. However, the truth is they both took COBs. Facts!

The problem that Piphi has is that several groups that Piphi considers beneath them got off the cob list: Zeta, Gphi, Dz, and Aphi - while they qualified to cob for the 1st time in a long time joining Adpi and a few others including the new sorority who is getting their house built.
The trend appears to be Zeta, Aphi, Gphi, Dz up and Piphi down.

Quota is not what makes a house eligible for COB. A house that has to take a ton over quota and then give COBs to replace members that dropped is a prob with retention.

Again - one more time.
Aphi, Zeta, Gphi, Dz all came off the cob list after rush - this means they are all over chapter total and mostly all got quota to achieve this status.
Seriously, see someone.

Obviously someone doesn't like embarrassing stats. No house on the COB list has embarrassing stats.

Bash Aphi again, non-stop. Go for it.
Only you Piphi think it is embarrassing to be on the cob list.
Zeta, Aphi, Gphi, Dz never tried to deflect or cover it up.

AOII had 143 pledges, who looked amazing. Why would they COB? They had another great rush! They have been killing it since 2019 when their new house opened the year before. I am assuming it is for chapter totals because I think every sorority on campus made quota PLUS except for SK and Theta.
by: Agree!
by: Agree I'm
It must be a chapter total issue.
It is a great opportunity to offer membership.
It is nothing to be embarrassed about Piphi.

ADIi lost a lot of members from fall 22 to spring 23. They are one of the smaller chapters at ua.
