kelly, there are no guarantees

zillini, got my green book out and it does not mention anything about sip's and snap bidding. to quote:

"snap bidding is an option available to chapters which did not fill formal membership recruitment quota spaces in bid-matching, whether matching by hand or computer. snap bidding is not intended to fill spaces in the chapter total. snap bidding is limited to any woman who participated in the designated formal membership recruitment.

snap bidding should be under the direction of the college panhellenic membership recruitment committee, working with the chapters who have quota vacancies. a signed membership recruitment acceptance shall be filed with the college panhellenic before a woman who has accepted a snap bid may be pledged. snap bidding shall begin immediately after bid matching and end with the distribution of bids, at which time continous open bidding shall begin."

A question about snap bids: if a house has made quota, but is still under campus total, may they extend snap bids? Or COB on Bid Day?

Thanks. I guess no one but the new member, and a few officers and panhellenic would know if someone was a snap bid, COB or a new member through normal bid matching.

Theorectically. But I know actives who figured out Polly PNM/New Member was a snap bid because she didn't attend Pref. Considering we typically have around 300 PMNs at Pref, it's not easy to remember them all but it is doable.

Last year we had to snap bid 3 members and each of those women have become wonderful members. 1 is now an officer, 1 a vital committee Chair and the other is a well loved, active member. Just goes to show that no active should ever judge a new member by how she got into the sorority nor should a PNM dismiss a snap bid out of hand because her feelings were hurt for not matching.

I'm confused. I was under the impression that if a house makes quota they cannot snap bid, but they can COB as long as not at chapter total. Is this correct? Or can they snap bid regardless, as long as they're below chapter total??

I think snap bids are to quota (and possibly quota plus, but I'm not sure)

Anything else is technically COB. This could include if some of their bids from recruitment don't show up. We had girls my last year who just dropped out of recruitment the last day. Next year the Pi Chis made it clear that that wasn't dropping out of recruitment. Don't sign the card if you don't want a bid.
