How does Continuous Open bidding work for the PNM?

Sometimes COB/COR is so casual that the PNM doesn't even realize that she's being considered for membership!

Is there always more than one event? Is a PNM ever invited to one event but not back to a 2nd COB activity if there is one?

Yes, that can happen if the second events are invite only. Somtimes sororities will invite all eligible PNMs that went to the first COB event back to their closed events, but sometimes they'll only invite a portion of the PNMs that they are seriously considering for membership.

No there's not always more than one event. A sorority could offer a bid after one event if the members feel the got to know the PNM well enough.

Yea I always think of Fraternity recruitment when I think of COR's. It is so much easier to talk honestly with the COR PNM at the "event/dinner/ice cream social" Heck, we basically ask them if they are interested in a bid before we go on to the next step. But, we wouldn't ask unless they were "eligable."

Keep us updated on what happens.
