Were snap bids issued, and how many chapters made quota? How many are still under total?

As was already said in the other Alabama thread, snap bids are not publicized and a woman getting a snap bid isn't going to know that she was "snapped" versus simply being on the original bid list. If women were "snapped", it happened on bid day.

That's not how it worked at my school. The girls definitely knew they were snapped because they had already dropped out of recruitment. Usually the recruitment chair and a active that had met her at a rush party would go to the girls room and talk to her about accepting the bid. If she accepted she would come to bid day with everyone else. I think there's some confusion about the difference between a quota addition and a snap bid.

Add COB/COR to the list.

At UGA, at least in the olden days, the girl knew she was being snapped because she got a phone call from the group [or panhellenic, I guess.]

I think that SmartBlondeGPhB was probably thinking quota additions because in that case, she is totally right.

With snaps though, the girl didn't* pref the house, so surely she'd need to know and consent to get a bid [from a house that she didn't list on her bid card.]

(Although, I guess, at campuses that distribute bids and then let girls sign them, they could give a snap bid as the bid, but it just seems like of jerky because most girls would expect a bid to the group they preffed.)

*ETA: this should really be changed to might not have preffed the house, I guess.

A girl can be snapped if she preffed the house.

I didn't think there were any rules against it, but wouldn't she have matched through normal bid matching though, making a snap unneeded?

Dude, what's up with the quote function today?

Not if she were low enough on the list.

But under what conditions would they need to snap bid her if not that they didn't make quota? And if they didn't make quota, wouldn't they have exhausted the bid list, thereby having a chance to bid her offering her a regular bid already?

I'm sorry to seem so moronic, like it this were a real conversation that you all would have to talk slow,

but if a girl preffed a house and was on the bid list, how would the group end up not making quota and needing to snap before they passed her name?

Are you all thinking about snapping to total after regular bid matching? It makes sense in that case that SmartBlondeGphB is complete right; the woman and the average member of her group wouldn't need to know that she was part of the group that came in after quota but before total, like a quota addition.

I can completely see how a women could be snap bid by a different group that she didn't pref, but then it seems like the phone call to her is needed.

That has always been my understanding, at least in regards to Bama.
