Eh, from what I remember, which could be way off, it is late, is that a snap bid and cob are different. snap bids are eligible for girls who have rushed through pref. if a house goes through its bid lists and still has not made quota it can (snap) bid a girl who has gone through pref but maybe was cross-cut/suicided/or possibly dropped them prior to pref.
The advisor guy said she was eligible for open house - which i think means COB.
maybe Barb could clear this up

Basically, each chapter is supposed to turn in a snap list in addition to their first and second bid lists. Theses lists include any girl who did not attend their pref, but to whom they are willing to offer a bid. They are listed in priority of how much the chapter wants her.
For some chapters, this may mean anyone who has attended a certain number of invitationals, legacies, friends from high school, etc. Any PNM can be on the list at the chapter's discretion, as long as they were registered for formal rush at one point.
After computer matching, AND quota additions, the snap list for any chapter that is below quota is cross-referenced with the girls who are not matched.
The Rho Chi should then call Suzie PNM and tell her that she did not match with any of the chapters on her pref card, but Alphas are willing to offer her a bid.
It is possible to be offered more than one snap bid, so the Rho Chi would tell Suzie PNM that Alphas and Betas offered her bids, and Suzie would choose. She would then be added to their list, and pick up her bid with everyone else in her pledge class.
Unlike quota additions, ANYONE who is registered for rush can be offered a snap bid, regardless of the number of parties or rounds they attended, or if they have formally withdrawn.
