So, I was thinking about this and I'm confused about one thing...
So, a campus finishes up with formal recruitment and is excited about their new pledge class. Total is readjusted. ABC is now under total and has to COB...
Does ABC COB during the fall semester, to get to total? In which case are they taking a two-tier pledge class? In the sense that 50 new members pledged on bid day (in August), they're PC14, then 12 more new members were pledged via COB on October 30th, now they're a part of PC14, or they're PC14.5?
Logistically, how does it work? If you're forced to COB in the same semester that FR happens, are they tiered pledge classes (as described above PC14 and PC14.5)? How does initiation work? Does everyone get initiated at the same time because it would be a logistical nightmare for a chapter to plan two different initiations in the same semester (especially for larger chapters, thinking of my own as a frame of reference, total somewhere between 150-200)? If they all get initiated at the same time how can it be justified to the girls who pledged during formal recruitment that the COB pledge class has a new member period 1/2 of theirs, and that the same expectations are not placed on those girls? Does than cause resentment and add to COB stigma?
Or, does ABC have to COB during the off semester? Where everything is normal, you just have a new pledge class during the non-formal recruitment semester. In which case, what was the purpose of NPC changing the rule that total MUST be adjusted 72 hours after bid day? Shouldn't it be instead at the end of the semester (December, after finals and winter graduation, for example)?
