Houses that are under total will COB. There's the predictable groups that participate. And there are groups that never do because they either don't see the point (top 3 or 4) or see it as a curse worse than death to be known as a house that takes members outside of formal recruitment. But there are also houses like AXO, APhi, DG and sometimes ZTA that will do everything they can to clear the padding from their roster and use COB as a competitive tool to keep or strengthen their positioning in preparation for formal recruitment. Maybe they won't advertise, but COB is the best strategy for groups like that to take girls who wish they had rushed in August and maybe would have been pledged by a top house if they had or if they had waited for next August. Giving girls like that a bid in spring will help those houses move up the ladder in formal recruitment. I think this is totally what groups like APhi and DG for a lot of years to move up in rank when no one was paying much attention. It's a smart strategy that obviously works.
