One of the others my roommate was in and dropped b/c of a big incident. I was really worried last semester when I talked about talking to some of her former sisters. She kinda just smiled but I could tell it bothered her a bit.
Its just very frustrating!!!!

I think you have the answer to WHY that chapter's not at quota/total! There is never a good excuse for being rude to a PNM. Well, maybe if she's psycho and tries to set the carpet on fire...

COB is Continuous Open Bidding. It allows chapters who did not fill quota during formal or, apparently, who are not at total to still recruit girls through COB. COB, at UK, starts the day after formal recruitment and ends until they reach quota or total. COB is much less formal and less stressful. Does that make sense? I'm not very good at explaining things.

oh I like this group that you are going after. If one of the activates like HP then they are super cool.

Oh, and good luck!

yea- COB is basically what UK daisy said... however- at my school- we never reach rush totals or wahtever.... (thats how little girls acutally do rush) so we're allowed to do whatever we want basically throughout the semester.......

I would think COB is little more stressful than formal rush because instead of large groups of girls to be rushed it is you and maybe a handful of other PNMs and i would find that being like under a microscope and more intense selecting. Than again i am an Alum Initate

Cob is such much harder then formal rush ... during formal girls come to you and during cobing we have to go find them. We hae always been told that we cob until total not just quota.

For the chapter, COBing can be more difficult in the sense that yes, you usually do have to go out and find these women. But it can also be easier because you're only focusing on a few women at a time, so it's easier to get to know them. From my experience, COBing is more like "coming over to hang out and get to know the girls and do something fun" than a formal recruitment party.

For the women going through, it can be less stressfull because you're more relaxed (hopefully!) and the chapter women are more relaxed. You can get a better feel for a chapter and have the potential to meet more girls in a more open atmosphere than you possibly could during recruitment.

Thanks everyone for clearing this matter up. For those of y'all that don't know, I was cut after the second round of formal rush. Hopefully, COB would be much better so that the girls can know the real me.
