I'd highly encourage you to get to know sorority women in non-recruitment and non-COR settings.

Sometimes chapters don't even host COR events, because they extend bids for available spots to young women they already know.

At many campuses, there are generally at least a few chapters who are under total. (Not at the uber-competitive schools, of course, but you haven't identified what sort of university you attend.) You may find that those groups are generally more open to the idea of COBing and getting to know prospetive recruits.

(Note - just to be clear...I am not advising you to seek out a chapter that is struggling numbers-wise and present it as a "you need a body, I need a spot" type situation. That would be a big turnoff to the chapter, and it certainly wouldn't do you justice either. I'm just saying that its good to have an idea in mind of what chapters might have more spots available...if you happen to have the opportunity to meet and connect with a member of one of those chapters, it might be more productive for you. Versus meeting and becoming BFFs with a member in a chapter that never, ever COBs.)
