She could still be offered a snap bid.

Can they get snap bids if they dropped out due to the fact that they were cut from most houses ? Are snap bids and open bidding sometimes done on bid day ?? Just curious..

snap bidding should be going on right now. It usually starts right after the houses get all the lists (their bid list, a complete list of what house everyone went to, and everyone who dropped out). This allows girls who accept an opportunity to come to bid day and no one knows who was on the original bid list and who was not.

On bid day they (snap bids and COB) look the same to the "outside" world. But if you drop out of rush or SIP (suicide) you cannot be "snap" it must be termed COB. This is how it must be termed on the membership report.

I think people get confused because on Bid Day "outsiders" have no clue which members where snapped or COB-ed. If you dropped out of SIPed you have to sign up for COB. If you maximized your options and were mismatched, then you qualify for snap.

In terms of membership-- it has no bearing. All girls sitting at the houses tonight will be full fledged members. It doesn't matter if they were full formal rush, snap bid, or COB. They are all full "pledges" or PMN's.

Ex: Ruth Rushee drops out after 3rd round. She signs up for COB with ABC and DEF. XYZ is not allowed to "snap" her because she dropped out. To be considered for XYZ, she needs to sign up for COB with them, as well.

This intrigues me, as I looked for it in the Green Book and could not find it. Where is this stated? Specifically that someone who withdraws or ISPs cannot be considered a snap bid?

Its local. they have to be signed up to be reconsidered. It may be what's considered "snap" where you are. But you cannot tell a girl who drops out after 2nd or 3rd round to sit in her room and "wait for the phone to ring" it won't happen at UGA. She's got to sign up for COB. If you want to call her a snap, so be it. But technically she's not.

Can any of the snaps or COBs on Bid Day be quota additions or are they just for the groups that didn't make quota?

When you say about "signing up" for COB - can they sign up for it from all the chapters, or just certain ones?

The houses advertise which ones are participating in COB.

So of the ones that are participating, you can sign up for only the ones that are of interest to you. (or you can sign up for all the ones participating, too)
