COB
Continuous Open BIdding
Statement from CPC
“Continuous Open Bidding or COB is an informal recruitment process that National Panhellenic Conference sororities use to recruit new members outside of the designated Formal Recruitment period. If you are interested, chapters that choose to add more members following Formal Recruitment may contact you to meet and discuss joining their chapter. The COB process is not a part of Associate Recruitment.”
Depending on the total number of girls in our chapter, we may or may not be participating in Continuous Open Bidding for Spring and Fall Recruitment cycles. If you have any questions please contact Ella at frc@gtadpi.org.
COB Testimonial
Coming into college, I knew I was interested in Greek life, but the idea of rushing felt a bit overwhelming. I was adjusting to living in a new place, starting college classes, and returning as a student-athlete on the Georgia Tech dance team all at the same time. As a first-generation Greek life student, I was also nervous about not knowing what to expect with being in a sorority. Starting my first semester at college, I only knew a few friends that I had met from doing the summer Ignite program, and I longed for meaningful and lifelong friendships that would be an important part of my college experience.
That’s when I decided to look into the COB process, and it was truly the perfect opportunity for me. The process was extremely welcoming and low-pressure, and it allowed me to meet such genuine and kind girls. Through COB, I have found a community that immediately made me feel loved and at home. ADPi has already given me meaningful relationships and a place where I know I can grow. Joining ADPi through COB has been one of the best decisions I’ve made during my freshman year of college so far. From being welcomed by the sweetest alpha class, to meeting my big and joining the best fam, I already know I have made some of the kindest lifelong friends that I was hoping to find.
