If XYZ doesn't want to go all out during formal recruitment, they are certainly entitled to that opinion. If they want to go all out for COB, they can do that as well.

At my university, COB started the day after bid day. All of the sororities participate in COB as total is set too high for the campus, but that's another story. Most groups PREFER to get their new members from the formal recruitment process, just because the women "come to you" as opposed to going out and finding COBs.

I don't think the COB change will affect numbers in general, as ABC does well during formal, while XYZ does during COB. I'm not sure about the "change" of voting. I wouldn't think you could change your vote after the fact, but you could bring the issue up again maybe for a revote?

Just a thought...
