I think it's fine if a chapter CHOOSES to go back and snap bid someone, but having someone call and ask just seems like they're trying to place women just for the sake of placing them somewhere with no regard to the chapter personal feelings about the woman. But then again, the chapter does have the right to decline...

This wouldn't be to get a bid, but to make it to the next round. Say she was released by all chapters after the first invitational round- so no invites for the 2nd invitational. They might call to see if anyone would be interested in inviting her back (the stipulation is that she is usually "free" - i.e. not included in their release figure). If they released her b/c she was a snob/rude/brat or, as was the case one year, said F*@K every other work, then they don't push.
They're just try to keep her in if possible and give her another chance with the chapters. Maybe other chapters released her b/c she was a double XYZ leg, but XYZ released her b/c she didn't have grades. Since we don't know who is releasing who, this could easily happen.
