CONTINUOUS OPEN BIDDING

The University of Washington offers Continuous Open Bidding as an informal recruitment process for any undergraduate women at UW who are interested in joining the Panhellenic Community. Continuous Open Bidding is an informal process where chapters can reach out to registered Potential New Members (PNMS), or registered PNMS can reach out to chapters to schedule meeting times to get to know one another.

These meetings are “date-like” hangouts between members and potential members that allow chapters and PNMS to share their values and become acquainted. PNMS must attend two of these meetings with a chapter before they can be offered a bid, or invited to join a chapter.

The list of participating chapters changes between, and during, quarters as chapter eligibility changes. There is no guarantee to which chapters will be participating in COB, as it will depend if chapters have space and choose to participate. The list participating chapters can be found below.
