THEY CAN!!! They can open bid until they get 65 girls, and they don't have to do it all on bid night...they can take all semester to do it if they want to, they can take a second pledge class if they want to. If there's a Panhellenic out there preventing this, they are violating Green Book regulations. The only time this wouldn't be allowed is if there is a colony on campus. (Although if there's a chapter this far under total there shouldn't be a colony on campus.)
We SUCKED at formal rush...I would say at least half of our sisters came through COB. And guess what, when they printed our pledge classes in the paper it didn't have asterisks beside the girls we got through COB instead of formal and bid-matching. We never had a problem with it - but I know there are chapters who when they have to do it, become just sort of paralyzed and end up shooting themselves in the foot.
