Fall Recruitment through Continous Open Bidding (COB)

Continuous Open Bidding is a very informal process that sororities use to take in new members. Unlike formal recruitment, no long days of going from event to event, or complicated invitation acceptances. When a sorority holds COB, they simply contact a potential new member on their own and hold a series of informal events to get to know her better. Each chapter does it differently. Some might go to dinner with a potential member. Some chapters might hold a ‘Meet the Sisters Night’ in a classroom and invite potential members to attend. The one thing these events do have in common is that they are a great way to casually meet people and they are always fun.

Spring Primary Recruitment

The primary recruitment process is mutual selection process. After each round, Potentional New Members (PNMs) will submit their preferences on which sororities they want to continue to see. Sororities submit their preferences as well. Each round, PNMs and chapters continue narrowing down their lists, until each PNM receives one bid, and each sorority has different women in their new member class.
