Technically, it should. But now & again, we've had sororities who are STILL calling bidless PNMs five minutes from the time Bid Day festivities start! Thankfully, release figures have greatly decreased the incidence of that happening.

This way PNM's didnt show up and get upset when everyone got bids in their rush group except them.

VP of membership's however were on the phone calling PNM's at 6pm on Bid Day to start offering COB bids. This process of COB'ing as many girls as you needed to meet quota/total on bid day became about as competitive as formal recruitment!
And therein lies the second problem, if the bidless PNMs are out to dinner. UNLESS there are a lot of cell phones and a private room available.
