Those rushees that are not known, they may need more time to meet the membership. However, just because their bid was extended a day or two later does not mean their bid is any less worthy than those who received it "day one".

ETA: two other quotes and to note that my comment was not directed toward 33girl (or anyone else) but just using her post as a springboard to further the discussion.

This is another Guys and Girls Are Different issue. I don't think guys would be offended by this, but girls would. It's just a gender thing.

Well, that is what I was thinking. However, in general, it seems like COR/COB is more like IFC rush in many ways. So I wasn't sure if it would make that much of a difference.

This is inevitable at my campus. Since PHA has been moving toward having little to no involvement in informal recruitment, they set a date where chapters can have parties and give bids (the same day). If your chapter waits to give bids until all of your open house and invite parties, "your" girls will have been snatched up by other chapters.

ETA: Almost always, the first few to get bids are women we already know, so it really isn't an issue of favoritism, but just of knowledge.
