We didn't do snap bids at my school back in the day, but we did have the option, when filling out our preference sheets, in going on the "open bid" list for each sorority. This meant you were willing to accept a bid from any group on campus even if you had not gone to their pref party, which sort of amounts to the same thing, I guess. Also, in principle, I guess you could receive bids from more than one group. I only know one girl, who had to miss some parties due to a family emergency, who did this, but I don't know how many bids she got.

I think that might depend on the campus. Back in the day before RFM's we did a little of the snap bid process. IMO, it works best when a girl is cross cut meaning she doesn't match with any of her pref chapters. The problem we have had in later years is people who suicide and don't hit high enough on the bid list. It is obvious they only want to be an ABC, but ABC is usually full and may or may not be participating in spring recruitment. Ugh, I HATE this part about recruitment, but I do believe that they have tried to ease some of it with quota additions, but the problem is again, at least on our campus, if you suicide you are not eligible for quota additions. I guess that is how they try to discourage it?
