UA Panhellenic has not yet published a list of each Chapter's total membership numbers now that Formal Recruitment is complete. Panhellenic Chapter Total is currently set at 180. Therefore unless someone has some insider info, we don't know if anyone is below this.

Recs/COB
If any chapters at Alabama participate in COB...when/how/should additional recs be sent to the chapters? I suspect one problem my daughter had during regular recruitment was that she only had one rec per chapter that she was interested in. Had we realized their importance, we would have gotten more. Are recs as much a factor during COB?

The more the better, I would say ... during any form of recruitment.

Bamamama, I am an advisor. One reference per chapter is plenty. You should look for references to sororities that do not have one for your daughter. Numerous references to a single chapter are not an asset.

PS My chapter requires that a valid reference be in hand to pledge a girl.

Here's my personal advice and opinion on the subject.

the panhellenic office at alabama told my daughter that there was not a COB list, that all COB had to be completed by this friday (Aug 31)

ARE there any chapters under total (besides SDT, who I'm assuming will be COBing, since they didn't participate in FR)?

Yes. Unless the school isn't paying attention to the Green Book and has created some jacked up rules saying they can't.
Maybe they meant that it had to be completed by Friday to be included with this semester's pledge class?
ETA Jess, clicky on Zillini's link, she explains why there might be some chapters under total now.

Gottcha.
It's sort of exciting to see a school like Bama COBing.

I'd be willing to bet that whoever your daughter spoke to didn't mean COB ends by Friday. Every Chapter on every campus is entitled to COB at ANY time as long as they are below Panhellenic set Chapter Total. I wonder if this person meant all Snap Bidding must be completed by Friday? That I could understand.
