Perhaps not that incident, JAM, but it happens all the time with a certain sorority at my school. They do not snap them, but they COB.
My chapter regularly uses snap bidding, and it's pretty successful. The way our Panhellenic works it, each chapter compiles a bid list and a snap list, and the advisors of chapters below quota can snap bidless women immediately after bid-matching takes place. The advisors do it to keep things from going free-for-all and to minimize the number of sorority women who know that a PNM was snapped.
ETA: At my school (AFAIK), chapters may only snap to quota. They may then COB to total.
