Auburn Recruitment

[KSUViolet06]

Random question for Auburn peeps:

Is COB something that's advertised? Like, are there ads or sign-ups for it? How does it work?

I'm asking because I know at some of the other SEC schools, it seems like if there is COB, it's not something that's advertised and you have to know somebody to know that a chapter was having it. I was wondering if it was the same at Auburn.

KSU - I don't know the answer to your question but what I do know is that there has become less of a stigma at Auburn regarding COB now that some of the top sororities are participating. My gut feeling is that with the number of girls taking alumni status, moving back to their home state, or graduating and the higher cost of the new chapter rooms will necessitate more COB opportunities. But that is pure speculation and not based on any insider information whatsoever.

I imagine it is done by personal invitation (women invite friends), or women give their name to Panhellenic and the names are offered to the groups and there isn't a lot of parties or advertising. Not public or open parties and advertising, just women who have expressed interest and the feeling is somewhat mutual.

Could you imagine if XYZ had a COB party and 100 women showed up for maybe 10 spots? Lots of work and it seems much easier to invite the girl Suzie met in French class from out of state she's already vetted over for a meal and an activity.
