Chapters Snap Bid to fill vacancies in Quota - this should be done before Bid Day events. It is really no other chapters business if chapter A had to snap bid. This information should not be shared among chapters or collegians and women who accept snap bids should be treated like any other new member.
Chapters COB to Total. Same thing goes for new members - they should be treated like anyone else. I am sure everyone does, but this is just a nice reminder. I really hate when I hear women say "oh, you were COB" don't say that about anyone...ever. (Off Soap Box)
Quota is not determined until after all the preference cards (MRABA) and bid lists are turned in and the results are factored. There is an equation in the Manual of Information that takes into account many factors. Additionally, if you are using RFM, your specialist will work to determine the best possible outcome where as many PNMs are placed and as many chapters as possible make quota.
Placing quota additions happens immediately after matching so that additional women can be placed. The PNM must appear on that chapters bid list and she must maximize her options. Women who do not maximize their options or single intentional preference (or list 2 when she attended 3 preference events) are not eligible for quota additions. Additionally, the chapter must have followed RFM throughout recruitment, and have already matched to quota to receive a quota addition.
There is a lot more info in the Manual of Information - every chapter should have one so check it out.
I really don't post that often, but I can't help but post when it comes to MOI info.
