snap bids?
by: sororityWould someone please explain snap bids and why they are so bad?

If you are released from recruitment because you failed to match with a house, despite maximizing your options (and not suiciding), then you are available for a snap bid. A snap bid occurs when a house does not meet quota and have the opportunity to give a bid to someone who has already been released. In this case, they would call that person the morning of bid day and ask the girl if she would like to receive a bid to XYZ chapter. If she says yes, she gets a bid.
Snap bids are considered bad because it means the house was not desirable enough to fill their class without taking additional girls.

It's not bad to GET a snap bid, it's bad to GIVE them. When sororities have to give snap bids, it's because they did not meet quota (something KD is notorious for)

It's not bad to give a snap bid. The bigger houses have to cut deeply earlier in the game; therefore, they run a higher risk of having to issue snap bids to meet quota.

Houses that know what they're doing and put on a smart rush have no need to give snap bids, because all the girls that they want, want them back. That's why you rarely see top houses like AXO, DDD, Phi Mu, or Kappa resorting to them

I'm the first person to commented. I definitely agree with 2 comment. Definitely take advantage of the snap bid and I hope you have an incredible experience because each house is awesome! I was just saying why other houses say that having to give snap bids is bad.
