Here's what the "Green Book" says about snap bidding
<Start Quote>
Snap Bidding
Snap Bidding is an option available to chapters which did not fill formal membership recruitment Quota sapces in bid-matching, whether matching by hand or by computer. Snap Bidding is not intended to fill spaces in the chapter Total. Snap Bidding is limited to any woman who participated in the designated formal membership recruitment.
Snap Bidding should be under the direction of the Collegel Panhellenic Membership Recruitment Committee, working with the chapters who have Quota vacancies. A signed Membership Recruitment Acceptance whall be filed with the College Panhellenic before a woman who has accepted a Snap Bid may be pledged. Snap Bidding shall begin immediately after bid matching and end with the distribution of bids, at which time Continuous Open Bidding shall begin.

The "Green Book" doesn't say anything about a chapter not being able to snap bid someone who they released. It doesn't say that a women who declines a snap bid is bound to any group. My sense is that if you have to sign a new Membership Recruitment Acceptance form (as stated) and if you can receive multiple snap bids (as has been the practice from what I've experienced) then you aren't bound if you decline a snap bid(s) only if you accept one and sign the acceptance.
