The auto reset was designed so chapters and NPC member groups can make it work however it works best for them. We know that in general (of course not always) on many campuses the best chance of successful COB is right away following FR. The excitement of bid day, new members talking with other non greek friends, etc. As the semester goes on it can be more difficult for some chapters on some campuses to gain parity. Again, not alway and not on every campus.
In the old resolution, the Panhellenic was to reset as soon as possible BUT since the CPH checked in w their Area Advisor and the chapters checked in with their folks (HQ, Volunteers, however they do it in XYZ), the actual vote may not have happened until 2+++++ weeks after bid day. By then you just lose momentum.
With the auto reset, if a chapter wants to wait until next semester, fine. If they want to add in new members and initiate all together or even twice in the fall because it works with their new member process, great! Whatever works for the chapter and the HQ.
Don't forget some chapters may not participate in COB/may not be required to pledge to total. That's up to each chapter and HQ to determine.
