I think the difference is that what any given school CALLS snap bidding isn't necessarily what snap bidding really is.

By NPC's definition, snap bidding occurs when a girls prefs and bids but does not match up. The bid matchers will then contact the GLOs to see, "Do you want her?" She then gets her bid in the same way as if she matched. A girl should thus never know if she was a snap bid. The first time we did that, I about had a heart attack - I thought it was some major rule violation! Because what we called snap bidding on my campus wasn't really - after bids were given out the chapters still eliglible to give out bids got lists of girls who dropped out of rush and could go give them bids - some girls would get a couple of bids this way!

I think this happens a lot of places - they call something snap bidding but it isn't really.
