The COB Advantage: Growing Your Chapter Through Continuous Open Bidding

Continuous Open Bidding (COB) is often misunderstood within Panhellenic communities. While many people view COB as a backup plan after formal recruitment, the truth is that COB can be a powerful and intentional strategy for growing a chapter with members who may not have connected with the traditional recruitment experience. For campuses where students feel intimidated by formal recruitment—or where chapters regularly fall below chapter total—COB can be the key to sustainable membership growth and stronger sisterhood.

In this interactive program, participants will learn how to turn COB into a strategic advantage rather than a reactive process. Attendees will explore how to identify and connect with potential new members year-round, create authentic recruitment experiences that showcase their chapter’s personality, and develop simple systems for tracking interest and building relationships. Through practical strategies and real-world examples, chapters will leave with a clear plan for using Continuous Open Bidding to attract women who truly belong in their sisterhood.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the Strategic Role of COB

Participants will gain a clear understanding of how Continuous Open Bidding works within the Panhellenic structure and why it is an essential tool for maintaining chapter health.

• Identify and Engage Potential New Members Year-Round

Students will learn how to recognize recruitment opportunities throughout the academic year and build authentic relationships with women who may not participate in formal recruitment.

• Design Meaningful and Low-Pressure COB Events

Participants will explore creative event formats that allow chapters to showcase their culture, values, and sisterhood in a relaxed environment that encourages genuine connection.

• Build a Sustainable COB Strategy

Students will develop a practical system for tracking interest, coordinating member outreach, and maintaining a consistent pipeline of potential new members to support long-term chapter growth.
