Definition

1. An acronym that stands for “continuous open bidding.” Even though formal sorority recruitment only happens during the winter, chapters that have not met a set quota of members can recruit new sorority members informally. This process involves smaller events and one-on-one “coffee dates” to get to know members.

2. A person who has joined through this informal recruitment process.
