I was a Rho Gamma at Ohio State, so I'll do the best I can to explain it to you.
COB's are informal recruitment events held throughout fall, spring, and sometimes winter quarter (any time that Formal Recruitment is not occuring). These events are hosted by the individual chapters and are a lot less structured than any of the formal recruitment parties. They serve as great opportunities to meet women in the chapters without the added intensity and "overwhelming" feelings that comes with formal recruitment-- both you and the chapter women are probably a lot more comfortable. You can visit as many or as few chapters as you want, and most chapters, if they are interested in you, will offer you a bid after two or three times meeting you. Since fall recruitment is not open to new freshmen, you wont have to worry about feeling like you're competing with them, since all the chapters recruiting are recruiting only upperclassmen. As long as your GPA is above PHA's required level (2.4 I believe) you should be eligable for recruitment, and there are definitely chapters that offer bids to girls with anything above a 2.7, so you should be fine in that respect.
The Rho Gam and sorority alumna in me would suggest attending the Fall Open House and visiting as many chapters events as possible to get the best possible feel for the houses you feel the most comfortable with. If you have any specific questions about the process, feel free to message me and I'd be happy to chat with you more about it!
