each npc fraternity chapter has the right to cob to reach quota or its total allowable chapter size during the regular school year as defined by the school calendar. the purpose of continous open bidding is to enable thsoe chapters which did not pledge quota, or pledged quota but did not reach total to take additional new members immediately following the designated formal recruitment period.

my interpretation is that a chapter may continue to offer bids until they reach total, if they did not meet total during formal recruitment. the only way to exceed total is to maintain your chapter at total at all times , but especially going into formal recruitment, because that is the only time you would be allowed to pledge women and exceed total. the exception would be affiliating an initiated member from another chapter who has transferred to your school.so, the only group who could cob would be "d", who did not reach total. lisa

oops!just read a little further!! the group who exceeded total BUT did not pledge quota may continue to bid girls up to quota! sorry for the misinformation!! so theta princess and sugar and spice, go to the head of the class!!
