If you withdraw from recruitment, you are not eligible to be a quota addition or get 'snapped'.

Is that at just Alabama and Georgia (or was it Auburn?)? At my school many women got snap bids when they dropped out, and I believe that's standard practice in NPC.

Although, isn't that (i.e. snapping) just to fill quota?

If a group is under total they can still continuous open bid up to total. How long is quota in effect (for lack of a better phrase)?

Snap biding is only to fill quota and only applies to bids extended in the period between actual bid matching ending and bids being given out. a chapter is not supposed to snap bid if they made quota but are still under total. That's COB and should be after bids are distrubuted.

Quota from a formal recruitment is in effect until the next session of formal recruitment.

Example: if a chapter matches 5 less than quota during fall formal recruitment, then that chapter has the right (even if over total) to take an additional 5 new members up until the next formal recruitment period.

At least this is the way the green book describes it. your milage by vary due to local campus panhellenic rules.

Right, this is the way I understood it. NPC doesn't have cut-and-dry rules about snap bids? I thought snap bidding to quota (including girls who dropped out of recruitment) was always permitted under NPC rules, but it sounds like it's not? Or does it just not have rules about which women are elligible for snap bids, so it is left up to schools to decide that for themselves?

Snap bidding is governed by the individual campus. The NPC Green Book only says "may", not "shall" about snap bids. Snap bids apply only to quota. However, they are allowed to COB to total beginning whenever the individual PH rules state it may begin (after bid day).
