Snap bid

Poster Message:
Ok I’ll try to explain snap bids... Let’s say quota is 55 and iurvexample sorority is ABC ABC made an A list of their top 55 PNMs who attended pref they want in random order but only match to 30 of them ABC made a B list of their next 55 PNMs who attended that they want in order , so the computer tries to match them one by one , this process matches ABC to another 24 women . Which means ABC now is handing out 54 bids. And btw ABC could be any tier, since top houses have to release so many women they sometimes come up 1 or 2 short when their A list and B list picks chose the other preference house they attended. This is when snap bids come in to play ABC picks from a list of women who dropped out ot were released from rush (if you suicide after pref you can’t get a snap ) then generally the rho gam calls ABCs first choice to snap and she says yes or no . If she says yes then ABCs NM class is complete . If she says no the next woman is contacted. Thus why it is rare, especially with XO being pulled most houses will wind up with quota additions rather than having to snap. BTW if you do get snapped up with a snap bid my advice don’t tell anyone .....cause only your rho gam and rush committees at your future house will know and they will be happy for you. Join the rest of your NM class and enjoy!!!
