I assume it is a smaller university (less than 5000). If that is the case and you only have one GLO I can't imagine offering every single "random" a bid.
I can also assume it is a religious university, in which case, I see why they would not want any one to start a "secret society" with out them having control of the admittance policy for whatever religious reason they chose.
However, if an organization were to start up and be the one lone sorority then, then formal recruitment wouldnt be necessary anyway, and only a COB type of invitational party would be recommended. In which case, you would only invite the women you were interested in anyway.
Does that make any sense? (it did in my head)

Made sense to me
For UT guaranteed placement my understanding is that it is what has been described above: maximize your options each round. Back in olden times (when I went through
rush ) you didn't have the option to go to less than the max number of events for that round.
Ex. There were 14 chapters and you got to go to 10 max. You had to go to 10 even if you had decided you only liked 5 of them (which of course would be silly and why you had to go to 10).
My understanding is that now you only have to go to the ones you want - so you could go to 5. BUT if you want guaranteed placement you have to go to 10.
It's the same through all the rounds - except for pref. You are required to go to two events but have the option to go to three. For guaranteed placement you
have to go to all three. You are then guaranteed a bid from one of the three that you attend that evening.
Of course if anywhere along the way you are invited to less than the max number you can attend, you would still get guaranteed placement, you just have to go to all events you are invited too. So if you were only invited to 8 you would have to go to 8 (on the 10 day) you couldn't just go to 5.
In the instance that you are release from all chapters, you drop out of recruitment or at anytime don't go to the most events that you can, then you would not be eligible for guaranteed placement. You are also only guaranteed a bid from chapters who's preference event you attend - since per NPC guidelines you are required to be somewhere on their bid list. You are not required to be on someones list who you decline or who did not invite you - so you can't expect a bid if you didn't attend the event.
Please feel free to correct anything that is wrong here. This was how it was explained to me in the first years that UT did it. It could have changed since then.
