This is an important place to point out the difference between snap bids and COBs. Snap bids are offered before bid day if a chapter does not match quota. The women who a chapter may snap bid are women who went through formal recruitment but released the chapter in a prior round because she had more invites than spaces for a round, or who dropped out of recruitment (who were not released by the chapter in question).
If a chapter does not meet quota by bid day via snap bidding, if they decline to snap bid, or if they match quota and have a NM decline her bid, they may fill her spot via COB. Anyone more familiar with Green Book rules correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think a campus Panhellenic can restrict who a chapter may bid via COB. As in, a woman who suicides and is unmatched is eligible. As long as a woman has not matched with another chapter/accepted a bid to another chapter within the last year and she meets all campus requirements, a chapter may offer her a bid.
If chapters that don't match quota the normal way fill all their spots with snap bidding instead of COB, this may be where the Panhellenic-suggested strategy comes in.

Those are new words for me.
