Snap bids

33Girls, that's part of what I was wondering too. I guess the people who would do the snap bidding are also the ones who know why people were released?

But again, I'm not sure how often it's the case that the girls who get snapped were cut by the group.

I don't know of anyone getting snap bid before the end of rush.

Back in my day, when we didn't have release figures, snap bidding was pretty rare. If we had cut someone, then it was because we really didn't want them as a sister. However, if you have to cut a lot of women due to release figures, I can see how a chapter could end up cutting some women that they really did like.

From experience, snap bidding can be very successful. On UGA's campus it is pretty much a necessity and I would say that about 1/3 of the groups take part in snap bidding. NPC lets the houses who didn't make quota know their bid list and they give them the list of bidless women. This list includes women the group dropped, women who dropped out of recruitment but checked a box on their resignation forms to leave them on the list, and women who dropped the group. Then it is pretty much a free for all to call the women and offer them bids. It all depends who reaches them first which group gets the bidless women. A women who suicided is ineligible for QUOTA ADDITIONS but not for snap bidding. They want everyone to find a home. I know they woke us up on bid at 6:45 am to start making snap bid phone calls.
