Snap bidding has happened at Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss among very strong recruiting chapters in the past few years...some of the RFM numbers are very tight and often these chapters are recruiting the same 100 women that the other 2 or 3 SRCs have in their pref parties as well.

Those snap bids are issued very quickly and quietly...the average chapter woman has no idea that they issued snap bids.

Would anyone be so kind as to explain the eligibility for a snap bid? Does the new member know if she's a snap bid?

She knows because the Greek Life calls and offers the bid. But no one else other than the chapter's recruitment team will ever know

Chapter members may know if the woman was not at pref, but is then at bid day.

Maybe but remember how big these chapters are!

Finally heard that my rec girl pledged Alpha Phi. So happy she found her home.

Rush counselors also know if a girl in their group gets a snap bid. They know who was previously released and then gets a bid and from whom.

Who is building at West Texas!? I've got plenty of family there, and I know currently only Chi Omega has secured a home that was just renovated for the first time in 10+ years, on top of a sorority unit. DZ and ZTA are still in units only. ASA is under five years old, so they have nothing... And all the fraternities are sitting pretty in their fairly new lodging.

The U bought a closed nursing home and have plans to buy additional land in that area. This is next to land where they hope to build a new stadium. The sorority houses would be across the street from that. This is long term planning.

I actually know exactly where that is. Of course, the stadium talk doesn't surprise me; they had to sell Kimbrough to the City of Canyon ages ago... However, they have also been gifted quite large tracts of land, which makes the plans to purchase more land equally as confusing. Good to see they're planning far in advance!
