Someone mentioned writing to the recruitment chair expressing your interest in cobing. Is this frowned upon? Or does this make you stand out that you are very interested?

Well how else are you supposed to get invited to a cob event unless you contact them? I mean, unless you already know a girl in the house...

If you aren't friends with any girls in the house then all you can do is email. It can't hurt but I will tell you that aren't going to get invited back to most of them. Houses like phi mu and sigma and maybe sk, which are struggling with numbers may invite you based off an email but others like kd, axo, adpi, aphi, gphi most likely have lists of gi r ls recommended by actives and they will not stray from those lists.

Sigma Kappa takes names from active members and does coffee dates, that's how my roommate got COB'd last year and that's how she said they're doing it again. And from what she told me they already have their list and are going to be contacting girls within the next two weeks so contacting their recruitment chair won't do you much good this last in the game.

Phi Mu tables every semester I've been here, so for them it would be much easier to COB. You pretty much just have to walk up to them tabling and show interest and they'll tell you what events they're doing and even have fliers and handouts.

As for Sigma I've never seen them table but I also don't know any Sigmas so I'm not sure how effective it'll be to email their recruitment chair or not. My advice is that it can't hurt if you're dead set on getting into Sigma.

The other houses, you have to know somebody and they have to give your name to their recruitment chair and from there a committee is usually put in place to decide who is qualified enough to get asked to an event and such.

No clue about DG, I heard they do invite only events at their house but I can't say for certain.

When do most COBs take place? Like when would they start contacting you and when would the events take place? Like for dg or sk?

Pretty much the moment we get back COB starts taking place for all the houses because we like to have our new members initiated before Greek week starts so you all can join the fun :)

I’m a SK and you can probably still get in. Our COB chair really hasn’t done much in terms of planning everything out yet, so it’s worth a shot to still email! It might be the same for other houses, but I don’t really know.

Do you have your COB chairs name? I can't find anything online, it appears it hasn't been updated for the Spring semester!!

If you know an SK you can message her about wanting to join and she'll pass on your information to the girl for you, it's much easier that way!
