Y'all are crazy ignorant and spreading false information. Snap bids are NOT something to be celebrated, they mean that something has gone VERY WRONG for a chapter's recruitment in failing to bid match to quota and are something that every chapter and panhellenic wants to avoid at all costs. They cause stress and panic and scrambling in the middle of the night for recruitment teams right before bid day and are a huge source for criticism and attempts to shame a chapter. Not a good thing at all except for the lucky few pnm's who get one, but those pnm's should usually not have been released in the first place if something had not gone wrong requiring a chapter to have to snap. They cause far more harm than good. And "more than 1/2 of the groups on campus WILL have snap bids to give" THOSE ARE NOT SNAP BIDS. THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS. No one who actually understands this stuff would make that mistake or speculate about how Total is set. This false information is harmful and confusing, you are confused and ill-informed, just stop it. Snap and COB have a specific purpose: they do NOT exist to accommodate more girls who want a bid, they exist to maintain equity among the chapters and allow individual chapters to remain viable. There is a practical limit to Total memberships and panhellenic is not going to raise Total unless is has to by the prescribed formulas. COB brings its own set of inconveniences. Sorority chapters that start getting above 300 members feel less about a sisterhood with people you actually know and more like an impersonal mega-organization machine. Just ask the chapters at Ole Miss or Bama. At some point another sorority has to come on but that's easier said than done and does nothing to help the chapter experience of members in the short term. Enough with the speculative falsehoods.
