Snap vs COB

Poster Message:
Snap bids are only available on bid day and are given to "snap" a house to quota by extending bids to women who were not on the chapter's bid list. At this point, you're looking at COB, "continuous open bidding." There are two numbers at play here that determine if a chapter does COB: quota and total. If quota was 82, and a chapter hit quota but had five girls drop on bid day, they may be able to fill those spots. Usually those slots are filled quickly and by friends of girls in the chapter, by inviting them over for dinner, letting them meet enough sisters, and so forth. Chapters may also COB in the spring if they are below Panhellenic's established "chapter total" number, usually due to sisters graduating in spring, transferring, or having to resign membership. If you are looking for a bid now or in spring, it would be through COB.
