I think KD is ineligible to participate because according to the grade report, they have 310 girls. So it's APhi and Sigma, just like the PHA website says it is.

I'm a sister of a different house but my good friend from hs has been hanging out with tridelts. They are in fact giving snap bids but not doing any formal events

The 300 rule IS NOT A THING. PHA would not make the max numbers in a house 300 if a majority of our chapters HAVE ABOVE 300 MEMBERS. I am in fact in a house above 300 members that is doing CoB and has informed PHA of our event. If PHA did not put on their website that is on PHA and their executive.

Then why would the houses be lying to us in their emails?

Stop acting like your opinion is fact! You're a sister and got your bid so you can shut up now. I feel so sorry for the girls interested in COB that are so confused by all this. Don't add any info unless you know what's going on for sure, that's just mean.

My GUESS and I'll admit this is only a GUESS is that you simply are not forced to COB as long as you have 300 members. No one would lie to you guys!

I know FOR SURE that my chapter is participating in COB, I am talking for COB and we have our events and have emailed every girl we want to participate. Idk why this whole 300 max thing is going around but if it was true PHA would not have let my chapter accept new members.

nobody is ever forced to COB. It's totally up to each house each year. If Sigma decided at 225 members they didn't want to COB, nobody would make them. Now, their nationals won't let that happen, but hypothetically if their nationals didn't want them to COB and they didn't want to, they wouldn't.
The only rule is if you're ABOVE total you CAN'T COB. No matter what. If total is 100 and you have 110, you can't COB. If you have 99, you can COB one person, but can't bid above total. If you have 75, you can COB 25 spots and 25 only. The only way to really get above total is to get a large pledge class and retain them.

I know FOR SURE that my chapter is not doing COB because of that rule. I'm not claiming anyone else isn't COBing because of it but I can honestly say that mine was going to and ended up not doing it because of the rule. I have no idea what's going on with your chapter but I can only speak for my own, as should you.

My house is COBing and we are above 300. So please, PNM's, REACH OUT to any house you're interested in and ignore this 300 rule nonsense.

THE GRADE REPORT COMES OUT BEFORE GIRLS GRADUATE AND BEFORE GIRLS TRANSFER FROM THE UNIVERSITY. SO IT IS VERY POSSIBLE FOR KD AND APHI TO BE PARTICIPATING IN INFORMAL RECRUITMENT
