If I am understanding correctly, you meet the girls once and then wait for a bid?

Yes, basically we had to visit the houses within the 6 hour period and from that they decided who they were giving bids to because this was informal recruitment.

Not much time for you to get to know them or for them to get to know you.

I imagine many houses were very picky in the bids they gave out in the first round, probably only giving them out to women who were already friends of in-house sisters and such. Given that the bidding period continues for a few more weeks, my guess is that houses will reach out to PNMs they are interested in getting to know better and will give out bids more gradually. I wouldn't worry about not getting a call that first night if all you had was a small window in which to visit each and every participating house!

That's how COB works. It is continuous open recruitment, so the chapters can give the woman a bid without going through several rounds of interviews.

redlady2 That's a very good point and makes me feel a little bit better! I know that more bids will be given out over these couple of weeks as girls decline them, especially if a girl gets more than one bid so that still keeps me hopeful!

Like I said before this definitely gets me excited for fall though if I don't get a bid now!
