Once all the bids are handed out from formal recruitment/snap bidding, the COR/COB process starts and continues until a group has reached quota and/or total.

The rules are different with formal and informal recruitment. In formal recruitment, a PNM could be matched to any group she lists on her MRAA. If, for example, she lists them all and gets her 3rd choice, but is unhappy with her result, she is still bound to them for one year, even if she doesn't "accept" on bid day.
A PNM theoretically can be offered as many bids via COB as there are chapters participating, but she can only accept one. Once she accepts one, and signs it, THEN she is bound for a whole year.
I'm not sure if colony status makes the "wait a year" rule void on accepted bids, but, merely being offered a COB bid does not bind a PNM in any situation.
