The local that I pledged before SDT only does COB. What they do is they have informal events and they tell you if you are going to get a bid you'll receive a call by a certain date. I only went to one event, the last one, so I didn't think I'd get a bid. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from the sister who I talked to all summer who convinced me to go to the last event telling me that I received a bid and if I wanted to accept to be at so and so's house Sat night. (commuter campus). Out of the 8 of us offered bids, 7 showed up.

For SDT, I joined through COB. I was just told what time to be at the library to sign my card, it wasn't done as a big deal. For classes after ours, it depended if we knew in advance that we would have a lot of COB's (like 3 girls who were going to go us who couldn't make Bid Day because of work), we'd do dinner and balloons and stuff, or not. We usually just did a nice dinner once we had the whole class.
