So I'm starting a new thread because I hadn't found one pertaining to this... so sorry if this has already been discussed!!
I was just interested in what everyone thinks about COB (Continuous Open Bidding.) Out of the thirteen sororities at my school, only the few who didn't make quota participate... and my sorority has never participated so I'm not very familiar with it.
Right now one of my friends is participating in COB and, after attending just one event at a house where she had only known one girl, she was told she would attend another event and that then she would receive a bid. Maybe I'm just biased because I went through formal recruitment, but I don't know how I feel about that. I know that COB can be positive, but I can't imagine that any house would feel comfortable inviting a girl into their chapter having only met her once. How do you know you have the right girls and not just the ones that wanted to end up in a house?? (I mean, it's hard enough to choose the right girls after four days of socials in formal recruitment!!)
Again, maybe I'm just biased because I went through formal... (days of socials, dresses, running to houses in heels, R.C.'s, hollerin' fraternity men and all!!)
As stressful as that was, I just can't imagine it any other way. Then again, as I said, I'm not really familiar with COB so maybe it's just my school... how do you all feel about COB?? Would you prefer it to formal recruitment??
