What do you think about COB??

[kddani]

I don't understand why anyone would "look down" at a way to get great members! And just because it may not be a "cool" thing to do at your school doesn't mean that it hasn't been very successful and "cool" at other schools.

I think that anyone that looks down upon a way to get new sisters, that in most cases lets you get to know them much better than in formal recruitment, has major problems and needs to take a fall off their high horse. Looking down your nose like that only makes you live up to the sorority stereotypes.

And COB certainly isn't easier than formal recruitment. The COB PNMs (for lack of better term) a lot of times spend MORE time with the sorority than they would during recruitment. They don't have the BS things to talk about like how they like rush so far, blah blah blah. They're not going to talk to someone for 5 minutes then have a bump to a new sister. There's less going on and it's more about them and the sister, not the decorations, skits, etc.

Some of you are talking out both sides of your mouth. You're saying oh, any way to get new members is great, then you turn around and trash talk that it's not fair b/c it's easier to COB (which is false, btw) or whatever else you're knocking COB for.
