I wholeheartedly agree with the rule that a woman should not be allowed to COB a group if she suicides and does not receive a bid. There's a girl at my school who suicided another chapter and went to every COB this chapter had. They still did not bid her, yet she kept coming and coming. Meanwhile she has many friends in my chapter and we'd love to get to know her better. She still thinks that she has a chance to join this group she suicided. Furthermore, the sad thing is that members of this chapter have told everyone but her that they don't like or want her. If she were not allowed to COB them, perhaps she would open up her eyes to see the other two sororities on campus.

I also did not know about releasing. I assume that this only applies to women who do not accept bids, not to those who depledge? There are another two girls on my campus who declined bids from this same chapter and are now waiting the year to come join us. If this option were available... hmm. There are countless others who have lost interest in GLO's as a whole. If you depledge, however, I think you should have to wait the year. It's rather fickle to switch so quickly and if a woman wanted to do that and come join us, I would question her loyalty. That said, I think we have to agree that the bid matching system is not infallible and that a woman, given the night to think on it, might make a different decision in the morning.

I was unaware that campus panhellenic was allowed to pick and choose which green book rules it follows. I know that my campus does not follow all of them, and it irritates me to no end. I really think that NPC does a good job of keeping rush fair, and there's no reason to decide whether or not you're going to follow something, especially the unanimous agreements.
