Nope - pledges of XYZ are offered chance to initiate and go alum early or drop and be eligible for COB the following semester.
Patti PNM said she would accept her bid and didn't, she has to wait until the next formal recruitment

Oh, interesting. Wouldn't the existing pledges be allowed to COB immediately, if there were other groups that wanted to pick them up?

I suppose they could if the decision to close happened right after recruitment, but then they would be going to another chapter that did not make total with recruitment? And they would be joining and be the new girl nobody knows right around when most have already picked a little?
They would have more options if they wait until the end of the semester.

Well, on some campuses, COB is truly continuous.

Yeah but if the PNM had at some point picked the closing house over another or if she had gotten cut from those other houses - she might not be so excited to jump back into the Frey.
