I used to be the assistant Panhel advisor there. Generally, the only snap bids came from the chapters whose invitations were not the ones the girls who dropped out had wanted. She can sign up for COB now with Panhellenic but tbh, snap bids are often quickly and silently extended to girls who are known by the chapters already.

I don't know what you mean by extending grace to those who have dropped? No one will be opening more spaces for dropouts.

At campuses that I am familiar with, like Indiana University, for example there are always at least half a dozen chapters that didn't reach total or missed quota by a few who are listed on the Panhel website as participating in COB. My question is, would this be expected there. Or, as you say, do the chapters just quietly extend a few snap bids to round out their classes after bid matching? I recognize that the chapters that may come up under quota are likely the ones that she rejected for preference. But, that's not always the case on all campuses. Just trying to get a feel about what the COB process is like on this campus.

MS State has half the number of chapters that IU has. It’s a whole different animal.

The chapters who might be embarrassed about missing quota are the ones who quietly COB under the table. There are likely to be several girls known by chapter members who were dropped with much regret and they--or girls who might not even have rushed--are usually the first choices.

I have known schools that immediately list who's COBing but I doubt that State would be one.
