quick question. Does Cob happen a lot at ut in austin? and if how do they let you know.
COB (or COR) probably does not happen a lot in Austin after formal recruitment. COR is basically informal recruitment that the house holds to fill vacancies to reach total

You might want to ask your Rho Chi about how it works at UT. At some schools you have to "register" for COR @ the Greek Office.

I'm going to guess that COR opportunities are few & far between.... *maybe* after they have a whole bunch of seniors graduate?

I am really confused about the whole process and snap bids? is it possible to be picked up by a sorority if they have already cut you? and what is a suicide bid/pref (heard that around gc but not sure)
It's not very likely to be picked up via snap bid by a chapter that has already released you.

To "suicide" is when you have attended 2 pref parties, but only list one on the bid card instead of listing both houses in the order of your preference.


Sometimes it's hard to connect during rush -- the girls who are rushing you might be doing it for the first time and are often just as nervous as you are... that doesn't necessarily mean that it's an awful match.

There are a TON of stories on here about girls who decided to give a house a try even after not 100% clicking during recruitment and ended up in houses they loved.

Good luck.
