Psst, I have a secret: *I* was a COB!
Actually, at the time, I couldn't go though Recruitment because of other commitments on campus. The chapter knew about me throughout the summer because I was a legacy, and they knew I wasn't going through Recruitment. I got to know one of the sisters (now my Big!) and I got a bid immediately after Bid Day!
I feel lucky to this day not to have ever gone through formal fall recruitment... but Lord knows I've experienced many since then. I never have any "what ifs" because I know Gamma Phi was the right fit for me.
I personally love COBing because you really *do* get to know the potential new member on a level far beyond formal recruitment. And usually the whole chapter knows the PNM, so it's much easier to vote on membership.
