What may be confusing is this part of the MOI page 105
Quote:
Vacancies in Quota
When a woman negates her signed membership recruitment acceptance binding agreement, refuses to accept her matched bid at the conclusion of membership recruitment and does not participate in a ribbon or formal new member ceremony, this space in the chapter’s pledge quota was not filled. Therefore, the chapter may immediately bid and pledge another woman, even if the chapter is over total. However, if the chapter has received quota additions, the chapter may only pledge additional women to the established quota and not to the quota plus quota additions. Example: If quota is 25, and a chapter receives quota (25) plus two quota additions for a total of 27 new members, and three new members do not accept their bids, the chapter may pledge woman to fill to the quota of 25.

This is only if you received quota, not if you did not reach quota.

The purpose of COB is to enable those chapters that did not pledge quota, or pledged quota but did not reach total, to take additional new members immediately following the designated membership recruitment period.

You did not, and neither did DBB, say that the hypothetical chapter did not reach quota but had additions. (Unless you're confused and think DBB was referring to the chapter in the OP).
The rule is that if your chapter does not reach quota, they may bid to quota even if they are over total.
Quota additions are a bonus. You don't get to use them just whenever. Obviously.
In this case, since the OP said that the chapter is bidding to total and not upperclassmen quota, then they can bid whomever they like. Depending on campus rules, they may or may not be able to bid upperclassmen quota but my assumption would be from her first and second post in this thread that that's not really the situation.

We're talking about a separate upperclassman quota, not quota additions. Two completely different animals.

I was not talking about quota additions, I only cut the whole section out of the MOI to be completely clear. I am sorry about the lane swerve as all my comments were only referring to DBB's comments of COBing to quota if the chapter is over total.
Where is the rule that says a chapter can COB to quota if they are over total?

Per the Unanimous Agreements
B. Each NPC fraternity chapter has the right to COB to reach Quota or its
total allowable chapter size during the regular school year as defined by
the school calendar. To accommodate the colonization of a chapter or to
allow a chapter to build its membership, the College Panhellenic Council
may vote to suspend COB for a period not to exceed three weeks.
