You are correct on all accounts. Some chapters who have never had to snap bid or COR are now finding themselves in that situation. And not because they did anything wrong. It has been my experience - and that of others - that chapters "cycle" with regard to return rates and recruitment strength. Chapters on a bit of a downswing (quite natural!) might be left with a couple of open spots after bid matching. The strong chapters will take advantage of this and find fabulous women who either dropped out, never showed up, or tried to sign up too late. If they do it quickly, no one is ever the wiser that they didn't match to quota, because technically they pledged to quota.
