Well, that was kind of me - we would bid girls after the semester's class was initiated (like in December or April) and then add them to the spring or fall pledge class. They were "holdovers" if you want to get technical I guess. NPC isn't nuts about it, but AFAIK it is permissible (unlike what our dumbass GA told us). But we never did things a week before rush.

alphagamgirl06 - if this is a COB only for upperclassmen (this is what I think he was probably thinking) it might not be so bad, but here's the thing - if they are the ONLY ones doing it, it's going to make them look bad to the freshmen. "Why is ABC doing that? Do they need extra help or something?"

If they have upperclass girls they KNOW are interested in them and only them, those girls can just wait and get open bids after formal rush if they don't want to go through. I mean I don't think that all of a sudden a chapter that's having numbers problems is going to get a super ginormous pledge class and fill quota AND get up to total. It's possible, but not very probable.
