C.O.B - can I ask?
 
I dropped formal recruitment because I was only left with my last choice. But I'm interested in trying C.O.B. if the chapters I'm interested are offering it this semester.

I don't know how to find out about these C.O.B events, my Rho Chi said check the facebook groups but I dont want to rely on that ... I mean what if they dont update them ..

Anyway is it okay to email the chapter asking if theyll be doing C.O.B this semester? Or is it out of my place to do so? Because I heard it was out of place to ask about snap bids .. since its private chapter preference or something .. so can I ask about C.O.B or should I not?

Talk to your Greek Adviser. He/she will know who is doing COB and can put your name forward for them to consider.

I'm also wondering who to ask about COB. The Greek Advisor is supposed to be getting in contact with me tomorrow about the other thread I posted, so should I bring it up with him then?

Absolutely. At this point, the Greek Advisor would probably be your best source of information.

(You were saying, TriDeltaSallie?)

AMEN! If it "wasn't worth it" during formal recruitment, why would it suddenly be "worth it" during COB...

oh that's right...because they are the Sororities she wants, not the one that wanted her.

I would NOT email individual chapters to ask about COB opportunities.

Your GL office should be able to tell you if a certain chapter is holding events.

However, I would not count on getting a bid in the same semester from a chapter who just dropped you during formal. Very rarely will a chapter extend a bid to someone that they just dropped days or weeks earlier.

Pretty sure she'd manage to crawl on her hands and knees to the "right" COB parties.

excuse me? Our C.O.B is a while after formal recruitment, so it wouldn't be an issue then. I think these petty personal attacks can stop now.

I'm really not attacking you personally.

What I'm saying is generally true.

A PNM should generally not expect to receive a bid from a chapter that dropped her during formal. That really doesn't happen alot.

The sororities WILL remember who they dropped and why and who dropped them and why. It will matter.

KSUViolet, I didn't mean you were attacking me. Your reply was helpful - that was directed to LadyLonghorn

Absolutely. It doesn't matter if it's a few weeks, few months, or even a year.

Indeed. But on the bright side, since COB is a while after FR, her foot should feel better by then. :D

kddani 02-09-2009 07:41 AM
Why would COB be awhile after formal recruitment?

In our chapter it was always quickly thereafter, so that the new girls could all be part of the same pledge class and we could have everyone on the same timeschedule.


All times are GMT -4. The time now is 10:24 PM.
