How can I higher my chances of getting a bid from being a COB?
 

basically i am just going to cob for one sorority...you only go to their events..help! but if u dont get a bid by cobing u can rush afterwards. (rush week are after the cob events) at least thats how it works at my school. help!

Please stop asking essentially the same question over and over again.

sorry its just that i have the same question because i never really get an answer

Then what does that tell you? You've gotten some answers to your prior questions. Sorry if you're unhappy with the answers you've gotten. There is no super special secret that once you know it, you're in.

Be open, be friendly, be interested in the people talking to you, have a stellar resume, and keep your fingers crossed. That's about it.

This. And have a little come to Jesus with yourself about what you've got going on. If you are looking to sorority to make the friends that you are not making in regular life, you need to resolve that first because sorority women aren't going to like you any better than non-sorority women. If you have some quirks that turn people off you need to figure out how to nip those. And in the process, you might check out your campus' student health programs. You seem more than a little obsessive and it may be getting in the way of your life.

I think the verb you are looking for here is "increase" or "raise."

:)

"Improve" would be a good one, too. I think we've talked about writing skills with the OP before, too.

It's RAISE. How can you RAISE your chances? "Higher" is not a verb, people. Go read some Strunk & White, then worry about COB.

ETA: Damn, I was too late and irrationally angry. Sorry, guys.

She was told to RUSH THE LIBRARY over and over again in her previous posts.

Do you know most of the sisters? (I don't mean know their names from being a creepy stalker, I mean are actually friends with them and are a person they would call up and ask to lunch or something.)

Are you well-known (positively) on campus?

Do you have a decent GPA?

Are you involved in extracurricular activities? (An off-campus job is NOT an extracurricular activity)

Do you have a reason for why you didn't rush until now?

If you can say yes to these things, you have a better chance of getting a bid. If you can't, you might be SOL.
